The next day, Anzu awoke and let out a soft groan. "That was some night."

"You're telling me." Atem said as he opened his eyes. "You were superb."

"You were amazing as well." She sat up and yawned.

"I think we should get going before they start the duel without us." Atem said. Getting up Anzu saw a birthmark on Atem's back in the shape of the Puzzle.

Every time she saw it, Anzu thought that it was really faith that he has a birthmark of the Puzzle and he ended up with the Millennium Puzzle.

"Your birthmark really looks like the Millennium Puzzle." She pointed out. "It only shows that the Puzzle belongs to you and you alone."

"Yeah. No one knows about it apart from me and you." Atem informed her.

"I have a birthmark too. It's in the form a heart."

"I know. I saw it on your butt." Atem replied. "I have seemed and touched every inch of your gorgeous body."

"Atem…I have something to ask you?"

"What is it?" Atem sat back on the bed.

"Why me? Even though we were lovers in a past life you didn't have to choose me. You are every girls dream guy and have thousands of girls in your fan club that are dying to be with you."

Atem took Anzu's hand and bring her closer to him. Hugging her waist he gave her a short kiss. "I love you, Anzu and you alone. Yes we were lovers in a past life and that may have played a part in it but even if we weren't I would have still fallen for you. I feel something special since we first met. I know you're the only one I need in my life." He reassured her.

Anzu wrapped her arms around him, "I am sorry for asking. Even though I know you love me without a doubt, a small part of me will always be scared of losing you."

"Trust me Anzu, you won't lose me. If anything I am afraid of losing you to another guy."

"What?" Anzu looked puzzled.

"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met and I know guys would kill to be with you."

"Atem, you will never lose me."

"So, are you ready to go?" Atem asked.

Anzu nodded. "Yeah."

After taking a shower together, they went to the main room where they saw Joey, flirting with Mai. Tristan was stuffing his face with cakes and sandwiches, Vivian standing in a corner, Marik, Odion and Bakura stood at the back of the room.

"Hungry?" Anzu asked.

"Very. I worked up an appetite, working with you." Atem said before giving her a quick kiss.

"Working? Who knew working would be so enjoyable." Anzu giggled.

Walking over to the table, they greeted Tristan before serving themselves.

Kaiba walked in and made his way onto the stage. "Duellists and Mutt!" He looked at Joey.

"Kaiba, who you calling a mutt?" Joey barked.

"Calm down, underdog!" Kaiba yelled. "Now it is time for the first selection of duellist."

Taking out a remote he pressed a button and two names appeared, Atem and Bakura.

"You're duelling first." Joey said to Atem.

"After the winner of the first Duel is confirmed we will return here for the selection of the second match."

"Good luck Atem." Anzu said.

"Anzu, he doesn't need luck. He has skills on his side." Tristan told her. "And there is no way the world number one duellist would lose to an unknown, wimp like Bakura."

Anzu smiled before taking a piece of the cake, taking a bite her palms started to get sweaty.

The guys started to move towards the stadium, while Anzu dropped the plate on the table. She spotted Mokuba leaving and asked, "Mokuba, what's in the cake?"

"Chocolate, milk, flour, sugar, cake mix and peanut. Why?"

"It's nothing." Anzu answered.

"If you say so." Mokuba said, worried. "We better get going Anzu."

Mokuba ran out of the room, leaving Anzu by herself. Rubbing her stomach, the brunette ran to her and Atem's room.

"Where is it?" Anzu said, frustrated.

Getting up off the floor, she glanced at a mirror and saw that a rash had covered most of her face and arms. Her breathing began uneasy and she started to sweat even more. She was allergic to peanuts and would always bring her medication, especially for a three day trip, but for some reason she couldn't find it.

"Atem…" She whispered before fainting.

Atem and Bakura stood in the middle of the stadium while the others sat in the stands.

Looking over to his friends Atem thought, 'Anzu, where are you? I have a bad feeling about all this.'

Roland came out and said, "Duellists, get ready and let the duel begin."

"My move!" Bakura hissed, "And I summon The Portrait's Secret."

Atem summoned Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts in attack mode.

"Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts, attacks and destroy The Portrait's Secret." Atem ordered.

Bakura: 4000 → 3700 Life Points. Atem place one card, face down.

Bakura summoned The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams, in attack mode. (1300 ATK / 1800 DEF).

Atem summoned Gamma, the Magnet Warrior, in attack position (1500 ATK / 1800 DEF).

"Gamma, the Magnet Warrior, attacks and destroy Bakura's monster."

Bakura: 3700 → 3500 Life Points. "Now Gazelle, attack his life points." Atem continued.

Bakura: 3500 → 2000 Life Points.

"Now I summon the Headless Knight." Bakura said. (1450 ATK / 1700 DEF).

"Gamma, attack the Headless Knight." Atem said.

Bakura: 2000 → 1950 Life Points.

Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts attacks Bakura.

Bakura: 1950 → 450 Life Points.

Bakura removed The Portrait's Secret, The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams, and Headless Knight from the flied to summon Dark Necrofear in attack position. (2200 ATK / 2800 DEF). Bakura placed two cards face down.

Atem attributed Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts to summon The Dark Magician Girl.

(2000 ATK / 1700 DEF).

Next, he activated his face down card, Magic Formula, and then equipped it to Dark Magician Girl to increase her attack points by 500.

Dark Magician Girl: 2000 → 2500 ATK / 1700 DEF).

"Dark Magician Girl, attack and destroy Dark Necrofear." Atem said.

(Bakura: 450 → 150 Life Points).

"Looks like Bakura isn't even putting up much of a fight." Tristan said. "I told Anzu he was a wimp."

"Speaking of Anzu." Joey looked around. "Where is she?"

"Maybe she's at the bathroom or something." Mai said.

"No, I have a bad feeling about something." Joey said.

"Me too." Tristan replied.

"How about I look around while you stay here and cheer Atem on?" Joey asked. Tristan agreed before Joey ran off.

"Anzu could have just run off..."

"And nothing Vivian!" Tristan growled. "I know Anzu and she would be here to cheer on Atem."

Vivian muttered. "I wish that bitch would die. She doesn't deserve Atem or friends."

Back at the duel Dark Necrofear is sent to the Graveyard. Bakura activated his face down card, Dark Sanctuary, and then selected Gamma, the Magnet Warrior for its effect.

When Gamma, the Magnet Warrior attacked Bakura, Dark Sanctuary's effect negated the attack then inflicted damage to Atem's Life Points by half of Gamma's attack points.

(Atem: 4000 → 3250 Life Points)

Bakura's Life Points is increased by same amount that Atem lost.

(Bakura: 150 → 900 Life Points).

Bakura activated a trap card named, Destiny Board. Next, he activated the magic card The Dark Door. Then he placed one card face down and summoned Earthbound Spirit.

(500 ATK / 2000 DEF)

Atem summoned Kuriboh, in defense position (300 ATK / 200 DEF).

Atem attributed Gamma, the Magnet Warrior, Dark Magician Girl, and Big Shield Gardna to summon Slifer the Sky Dragon in attack mode

(X000 → 3000 ATK/ X000 → 3000 DEF). Since Atem held three cards Slifer's attack points comes to three thousand.

Bakura tried to select it as the target for Dark Sanctuary's effect, but fails.

"Slifer, the Sky Dragon, attack Bakura, directly!" Atem smiled.

(Bakura: 1200 → 0 Life Points.)

Atem won.

"Master, is that…?" Odion said.

"Yes, I see my sister has given the boy, Slifer but no matter. Even though Bakura had failed us, we now know who has the god card. With the remaining two in my deck we will surely defeat him!" Marik said as he got up and left.

"The winner of the first match is Atem Mutou!" Roland called out. Atem looked towards the seats and saw that Anzu and Joey weren't there.

"Tristan, where is Joey and Anzu?" He asked.

"Joey went to go look for her and hasn't returned as yet!" Tristan answered.

"The two of them could be together. You're little Anzu could be cheating on you with your best friend." Vivian butted in.

"Butt out, you little tramp!" Tristan yelled. "Let's go look for her." He said to Atem.

Atem didn't wait for Tristan to finish as he ran to the mansion.

Reaching inside something was telling him to go into his and Anzu's room. He opened the door and saw her lying on the floor, with the rash getting worst.

"Anzu!" He picked her up bridal style and carried her out of the room. "Someone, I need a doctor now!"

Joey heard Atem's voice and ran to him. Seeing the teen he said. "Follow me!"

Atem did as he was told and within minutes they reached into the medical room.

The doctors had asked Joey and Atem to stay outside while they treated her.

"Joey, you should go to the duels." Atem sighed.

"No, I am staying here. Anzu needs us."

"Joey, I know she wouldn't want you to miss your duel. Go, I will call you when I find out what's wrong."

"Okay," Joey said reluctantly. "Please call me when you find out anything. How did your duel turn out?"

"I won."

"I knew that Bakura couldn't beat you." Joey waved good bye before leaving.

Minutes later, the doctor came out and said. "Mr. Mutou, your girlfriend is doing alright now. She just had an allergic reaction. I gave some medication and she will be feeling better in a few hours."

"Can I go in?" Atem said, relieved.

The doctor nodded before leaving. Atem went into the room and saw that Anzu's rash had disappeared.

"I felt something was wrong with you but I didn't act. I am sorry Anzu." Atem whispered as he took a chair near to her bed.

"It wasn't your fault Atem." Anzu replied. "I will be alright soon. I just have to watch what I eat."

"The doctor said you will be fine in a few hours." He rubbed her cheek.

"Yeah, it looks like I am staying here for the night."

"I will miss you sleeping beside me." Atem smiled.

"It won't be hard. You have done it before."

"Ever since our date, I have had you by my side. You're the last person I see for the night and the first one when awake and I want it to stay that way forever."

"I like how that sounds. I feel so sleepy." Anzu started to yawn.

"Go to sleep, beautiful. I will be here when you wake up."

"Promise?"

"I promise." Anzu shut her eyes and drifted off to sleep, not knowing that Vivian was by the door, listening.

'Enjoy your beauty sleep Anzu. Cause by this time tomorrow, you will be died.' She thought.
