isn't part of, but could be considered part of "Pharaohs make the worst patients" universe. Why Yugi and their friends want Yami and Anzu to get together. Cites evidence thorough out the series as to why.

Warning: yaoi fans and Anzu bashers STAY FAR AWAY.

Summary: Yugi challenged Yami to find ten pieces of evidence that showed that he loves Anzu. They have found five so far...

"Anzuko, you're playing with fire!" Yami huskily whispered, resisting the urge to claim his queen right then and there.

Anzu giggled, "patience my love," she whispered, caressing his blond bangs. "Like you said, this is just the first course. Or is it the second course now?"
"It's the second course," Yami hissed, the Eye of Horus glowing on his forehead. "Anzu, keep doing that and you will be begging for my final kiss." His voice was deeper, steeped with unbridled passion.

Anzu blushed as he intertwined his fingers with hers. "But Yami," she said looking away from his intense gaze "We haven't finished this quest. We still need five more pieces of evidence and we still have eight more kisses to give…"
"Make that seven more, my queen!" Yami cried crushing her against him his lips locking with hers in a deep and passionate kiss. Anzuko, if you didn't know of my love for you before, you do now! He cried into her mind.

Once they separated themselves the fires of passion were stoked,
"Anzu," Yami said with semi-labored breath "Let's get this done quickly, for I'm not sure how long I can wait."
Anzu held his hand in hers, "I don't know how long I can wait either, Yami. But the thought of dating Yugi isn't as appealing as being the Hatshepsut to your Senenmut2."

"Actually Hatshepsut was both queen and pharaoh, Anzu. Senenmut was a government official and her lover" A young female voice spoke up. Anzu turned around and glared at Rebecca Hawkins. "Before you say anything Rebecca, Yami and I are on a date." She stated.
"Oh I know that, Yugi told me everything. You two have to find ten people each one must tell one piece of evidence as to your love for each other. Anzu, I could easily see your hidden love for him. Remember back when we were trying to find Dartz, right as my Darling went off on Copernicus to face off against Rapheal."

Anzu and Rebecca are sitting by the trailer
"Grandpa told me that Yugi sometimes has two personalities. The regular Yugi and the Nameless Pharaoh." Rebecca said, staring up into the sky,
"The other Yugi is reliable and is a dueling expert." Anzu replied "So he's sure to win."

Rebecca gets a sly expression and says "Anzu, you're in love with the Nameless Pharaoh aren't you?"

"Why do you say that Rebecca?" Anzu asks blushing.

"So that we won't be rivals in love." Rebecca replies

"The look you had on your face shows your true feelings about him. Also you were the only one who was able to stop him from eradicating an insect." Rebecca smiled, "Besides, I really don't want to give Yugi up. So there you go." She added before leaving to crush some wannabe duelist.

"Six down four to go," Anzu stated, while being held in the Pharaoh's arms. Yami nuzzled her neck, still feeling the flames of passion.

Right as he was about to mark her like an Inuyokai does to his human mate3 his celphone rang.

"So you two geeks need some evidence that you two are head over heels in love with each other. Fine, Just meet me at KaibaCorp Stadium. Yami, just be prepared to duel me for it!" Kaiba shouted via the phone.

Anzu shook her head in irritation as she and Yami were escorted to the stadium.
It took all of Yami's will to keep himself from making her his during the limo ride.

"Yami, let's make this more interesting why don't you and Kaiba have a strip duel. I'll call Kisara and ask if she can be there. It'll be great!" Anzu whispered seductively in his ear. Yami blushed

"You want me to lose, then?" he asked, "because if I do, then we won't get the evidence piece and I'll date Rebecca."

That piece of news tempered Anzu's libido. "no, you don't have to lose" she replied, looking away from him. "Just make it as close to a draw as you can" she added

"Okay Kaiba!" Yami shouted as they entered KaibaCorp Stadium "We'll duel, but this duel is for Kisara's and Anzu's benefits."
"Yugi, What the hell are you thinking bringing our girlfriends into this?" Kaiba sneered.
The former Pharaoh smirked, "because they want to watch us in a game of strip duel monsters."

Kaiba's face turned as red as the Red Eyes Black Dragon's eyes.
"Kaiba, I'll duel you, on those conditions." Yami added.

Seto begrudgingly agrees to the duel…

… and ends up totally nude except for the card necklace he wears. Yami isn't too far behind, wearing just his choker and Millennium Puzzle.

"If this gets on the internet, I'll kill you in more ways than one." Yami hissed as Kisara had a nasal hemmorage4. Kaiba rushes over to her. "Kisara! Are you alright?" he asked drawing her into his arms.
"I'll be fine, Seto." She whispered stroking his cheek with her hand. "I just haven't seen you like this before." She blushed as she motioned to his nakedness. Seto blushed.
"Do you like what you see?" he asked, his male ego needed to be stroked. Kisara smiled "Very much so." She replied an impish gleam shown in her eyes.

Before the Blue Eyes White Dragon could seduce her duelist mate any further, the former Pharaoh spoke up.

"Alright Kaiba, What evidence do you have for Anzu and I?" he asked, his voice brooking no opposition.

Kaiba shot him a frustrated glare. "If you must know, Back in my battle city tournament, you were worried about your friends. Especially Anzu. All through the helicopter ride, you kept wondering if Anzu was ok. Now leave us alone, my BEWD needs me."

Yami smirked, Yugi is so facing a penalty game for this! He mused as he quickly dressed and left the stadium with Anzu.

Little did anyone know that the strip duel had been recorded and was beginning to circulate on the duelist network.

Anzu could barely hold in her laughter. "Can you believe the look on his face when you gave him those conditions?" she cried "It was perfect!"
Yami chuckled, "He was asking for it. So why did you include Kisara in on the duel?"

Anzu shrugged, "She wanted to see what Kaiba looked like without the KC jacket of doom. He's not bad lookin himself, but out of the two of you, I'd have to say I have the better end of the deal." She replied before he even had a chance to ask.

The two walked through downtown Domino at night. Anzu laid her head on his shoulder. "Three more pieces." She sighed.

"Wow, are you two aware of the video circulating on the network?" Tristan asked as he and Serenity caught up to them. Serenity blushed as she saw Yami.

"What video?" Yami asked
"The 'Fangirl's delight' video" Tristan replied, "We just finished watching it and I'm jealous man!"
"Fangirl's delight?" Anzu asked.
"Yes," Serenity answered, "Yami and Seto Kaiba duel each other in a strip duel. Anzu, Yami is HOT!"

Anzu shot a warning glare at the younger redhead. "Serenity, you can NOT have him, HE'S MINE! I'm glad you think he's hot, but he's taken, by me!" She hissed "Wait, how new is this video?" she asked a few minutes later.
"It's only five hours old." Tristan replied. Yami and Anzu exchanged oh shit! glances.
"It wasn't supposed to be recorded!" Anzu cried.
"Whoever recorded the duel is sentenced to a slow and agonizing death in the shadow realm!" Yami growled.
"On another note…" Anzu started, hoping to change the subject, "Yami and I are on a quest to find ten people with ten pieces of evidence that shows our love for each other. We have seven pieces already."

"The way Yami held you when the train we were on broke in half, I could swear you two should have kissed then. Not to mention the fact that when the four of us have to split up, it's always the two of you alone." Tristan replied.
"Don't forget," Serenity added, "you two were holding hands after we made sure Odion was going to be ok."

The four of them agreed that once they found the culprit, he or she would not be long for this world.

"One more." Yami said, once Tristan and Serenity left. Anzu nodded, Yami caught her hand in his and kissed it all the way up to her neck. "We need to relieve some of this new tension," he replied nuzzling her neck, "besides now that's six kisses left."

Anzu leaned into his touch as if she were a cat he was giving lovins5 to.

"mmm, let's just hope whoever it is doesn't take too long." She purred as he started to massage her neck and shoulders. "Oh Yami, that feels good!" she cried. "Please, don't stop." The former pharaoh smirked as his hands moved lower onto her back. She wondered if he had experience with this during his reign as Pharaoh. At the moment she couldn't care less. Everywhere he touched sent waves of pure pleasure coursing through her veins.

"Where's the nearest love hotel?" he whispered in the dulcent deep and regal tone she loved.

"I don't know," she moaned as he nibbled on her neck.
Oh Anzu, He seductively sent into her mind6. My queen, you entice me.

Yugi is so dead Anzu whispered silently as they found their way into downtown Domino.7

But I should thank him, Yami mused as they searched for the right one.

"Heart of the cards, guide us." Anzu whispered.

A four winged Dragonball-resembling fairy suddenly appeared in the sky. It flittered over a building shaped like a castle8.

"Happy Lover, you want us to go in there?" Anzu asked, the monster churred danced around their heads and disappeared.

The former Pharaoh chuckled as he led his queen into the hotel. "You asked the heart of the cards to guide you." He said as they entered the brightly colored, extravagant entryway. "What better monster to help us choose, than Happy Lover?"

Anzu blushed as she glanced at her watch, 22:00. Looks like we're staying the night. Yami whispered into her mind. She nodded her face stained crimson.

He took her lips in a searing kiss, flicking his tongue as to ask for entrance.

She acquiesced touching the tip of his tongue with her own. It will be alright my queen. He sent passionately.

"Other Yugi, you lied to me." A smooth masculine voice spoke up startling the pair from their kiss.

Yami glared at the person who spoke. His eyes hardened as he saw Yakou Tenma cosplaying as Vampire's Curse. Tilla Mook at his side, looking oddly satisfied.

"What are you talking about?" He hissed "And why did you interrupt time with my beloved?"

Yakou Tenma leered at Anzu, reminding her of her time as his captive. Yami held her protectively. Please, Yami keep me with you, don't let him even touch me! Anzu whimpered into his mind.

"Because, you said you weren't going to take Anzu Mazaki from Yugi! I see that you already have." Tenma sneered. Yami cast a shadow spell around Anzu keeping her safe and in his grasp.

"What business is it of yours whether or not Anzu and I are together? Also, if you wish to leave here alive, Give me one piece of evidence that Anzu and I are a couple." Yami commanded.

Tenma scoffed. "Oh, other than the way you are acting right now? And that you offed one of my card professors with Osiris no Tenkyu Ryu?"

"Yes," Yami hissed "Speak quickly, Slypher is waiting to give you the same fate as that professor!"

"It's simple, she is the source of your strength. She loves you, and the way you defeated my professors just to save her, you love her." Tenma replied.

"Be gone!" the former Pharaoh ordered, "And bother us no more!" Yakou felt Slypher's pulsation, a warning that if he lingered, he'd be meeting Cedar Mill very soon.

Yakou and Tilla Mook fled. "Have fun you two," she smirked as they left.

Yami cast a memory erasing spell on the other witnesses. You saw nothing! He sent into their minds.

Anzu was shivering. "Please," she whispered "just make me forget about him. I still have nightmares from being hooked up to the duel server."

Yami held her close "I could just erase him from your mind with a spell, but that…"

Anzu gazed into his eyes, "that wouldn't work, I want you to make me your woman."
