However, I finally got some free time and I am hoping to update more often. I want to thank all of you for the reviews. Enjoy chapter 36.

----Dream----

Anzu found herself in a beautiful garden as the aroma from the flowers surrounded her. She was in her Egyptian outfit once again as a soft breeze danced around her body. She looked around, noticing she was back within the same garden that surrounded the palace in Ancient Egypt. Anzu stood there, confused, as to why she was back in Ancient Egypt.

"Anzu!"

Anzu whirled around as Yugi stood behind her in his Pharaoh's clothes. She gazed at him as her face reflected within his blazing violet eyes.

"Yugi…is it you?"

Yugi looked at his love, confused by her question. "Yes of course it's me."

"I thought maybe you were Atem since we are here back in Ancient Egypt." Anzu stated.

"It is ok Anzu. Atem was who I was in a past life. I was reborn as Yugi to be with you and nothing will separate us again." At that moment, Yugi pulled Anzu into his arms and held her tightly. Anzu wrapped her arms around him and clutched him to her, never wanting to let go.

"Yugi!" Anzu whispered among her breath.

As Anzu continued to embrace Yugi, she felt a surge of pain that laced up her spine. She moved back from Yugi's arms as she stares at him. He was staring to vanish as a wind of sand formed around his body, taking piece by piece of his body away from her.

"Anzu!" Yugi yelled as the sand started to take over him.

Anzu body froze as her heart pounded wildly in her chest. Hot tears seeped out of her eyes as she tried to hold Yugi from vanishing. "Why? Why was this happening?" Anzu yelled as her heart twisted painfully within her chest as her grip on him became futile as the sand continued to take her love away.

"Anzu…please be strong my love?" Were Yugi's last words before the sand took the rest of his form as the wind carried his remains towards the sky, vanishing from Anzu.

Anzu collapsed into the floor, her knees giving out on her as she stared blindly towards the sky. Hot tears continued to seep out of her blue orbs as she screamed loudly. "YUGI…" She lowered her head as she continued to cry as she wrapped her arms around her trembling body, whispering Yugi's name repeatedly.

As she continued to weep, a strong sinister laugh could be heard in the distance. Anzu lifted her head and the scenery had changed. The garden was gone and she found herself in a dark field as storm clouds threatened overhead with a strong mist surrounding the area. The strong laugh continued to echo around her as lighting flashed with the thunder in synchronizing with the sinister voice.

"Anzu." The sinister voice echoed within the dark field.

Anzu slowly turned around as fear continued to lace up her spine. With hot tears in her eyes, she encountered cold blue eyes as they glowed among the mist as the darkness kept her tormentor invisible. She stared blindly at those icy blue eyes as fear continued to squeeze her heart.

The figured started to approach the terrified girl as his eyes continued to glow brightly with the darkness still refused to unveil him. "Now you are mine." He stated as his sinister laugh continued to echo.

Anzu's eyes were wide on her face and her breathing coming in gasps. Her heart twisted as she let out a tormented scream.

"NO STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

----End Of Dream----

Anzu eyes shot wide open as hot tears seeped out of her eyes. Her sight was blurry as she heaved for breath. As her vision became clear, she looked around her surroundings, realizing she was lying on a soft large bed within a large dim room.

Fearing as to why she was here, she thought back to the last memory before she woke up here. Bits and pieces of images flashed through her head, as she tried to clear her mind. Flashes of a sinister smile appeared deep within her mind, finally remembering of what has happened to her. Fear overcame her as his face continues to run through her mind.

"So I see you are finally awake."

At that moment, Anzu's body froze as her eyes darted across the room, seeking the origin of the voice. "Who…who's there?"

"Well I am hurt my sweet Anzu. I thought you would know my voice by now."

Anzu continue to look around the room as she curls herself into a ball upon the bed. "Should I know you?" she yelled.

The voice became a sinister chuckle as he responded. "Think Anzu. Think really hard."

Anzu's fear increased as the sinister laugh continued to echo within the darkness of the room, refusing to reveal the owner behind the voice. Deep down Anzu knew she recognized the voice, however it was different…dark and cold, enough to make her skin crawl. A vein pulsed in Anzu's head as her anger overcame her fear. "I won't ask you again. Who the hell are you? How do you know my name and why am I here?"

The voice continues to laugh, echoing within the dark room as he responded. "So many questions at once. My…my Anzu. You are the same as I remember you. The same spark within your soul that made me fall in love with you in the first place."

Anger continues to boil within Anzu's soul as her fear finally vanished. "Enough!" she yelled. "Show yourself, you sick bastard."

"Now…now Anzu. Is that any way to talk to an old friend?" the voice responded as he finally emerged from the shadows, revealing himself to the young woman.

Anzu's eyes widen from shock as cold blue eyes encountered brown eyes. "Se…Seto?" Anzu stared at the man before her.

"Close…my beauty." Priest Seto chuckled.

"What the hell is he talking about?" Anzu glared at him with a confused expression. "What do you mean close? I can clearly see you are Seto, who continues to make my life a living hell. What sick game are you playing now?"

Priest Seto continued to chuckle as he responded. "My dear sweet Anzu. I am not playing any games." He approached closer to the bed as he continues to speak. "I had to figure out some way to get you here."

Anzu's anger was growing stronger as she clenched more of the bed sheets around her body. "What do you mean…what did you do to me you sick bastard." At that moment, memories of her drinking the red wine earlier made her ready to attack the man in front of her. "You son of bitch…you drugged me."

Priest Seto stopped in his place, glaring lustfully at her, as he brought his right hand up, forming the pinch sign with his fingers. "Just a little." He said seductively.

Fire reflected within Anzu's brown eyes. "What gave the right to do this to me? I thought you said back at the hospital that you did not intend to hurt me because of your feelings for me. I guess all of that were lies because from what I am seeing you are worse than I imagine. You are nothing but a sick twisted person who hurts others to get what he wants."

Priest Seto kept staring at her as a slight smile appeared on his lips. "You are mistaken, because I am not the person you claim that told you those words back at the hospital. I am not Seto…well not entirely."

Anzu froze as another surge of fear passed through her body. "What…what are you talking about?"

Priest Seto stares straight into her brown eyes, and steps closer. Anzu knows he is trying to frighten her with those cold blue eyes, so deliberate and determination, with the glint of cold steel. However, she wasn't going to let him take away, of what strength she had left.

"My dear Anzu. I thought you would have recognized it by now." Priest Seto stated.

Anzu was still confused, now more than ever as she tried to understand what his intentions were. "You are more twisted than ever. Have you gone completely insane?"

Priest Seto continued to walk closer to her, until he reached the bed. He lean over resting his hands on the foot of the bed as he continued to stare at her with seductive eyes "I may looked like Seto from this time, however who see right now is someone from you past life."

Anzu's chest heaved as her eyes widen, realizing who was standing right in front of her. "You're…not… you can't be…"

A slight chuckle escaped his lips as his slowly climb upon the bed. "You finally figure it out. I am Priest Seto and I am here to make sure you never escape from grasp again."

As Priest Seto continue to crawl closer to her on the bed, Anzu realized what he was going to do. She tried to escape from him; however, it was futile as he moved quickly pinning her body under his. For a moment, their eyes met as a sickening smile played across his features. He continued to press his body against her as she tried to free herself from his strong grip on her. Slowly, seductively as only he could, he whispered in a voice that made her skin crawl. "You will not escape from me again. After tonight, you will be mine."

She floundered beneath his grasp. However, he wouldn't release her. Her heart crumbled in her chest, as hot tears formed in her eyes, streaming down her face.

Anzu opened her mouth, ready to scream, however Priest Seto stopped her as he pressed his lips firmly on hers. Tears continued to stream down her cheeks as Priest Seto continued to have his way with her.

He pulled away soon after, halting the kiss, whispered in her ear as his grip on her became loose. "Now, will you be a good girl?"

In that moment, Anzu raised her right knee and kick him hard in his groin. Anzu tired to make a quick getaway however, her effort of trying to escape didn't have any affect on him and he was back on her in a moment, pinning her down once again.

"That was a stupid move on your part my beauty. Will I have to be rough with you or do want it as gentle as possible?" Priest Seto growled.

Anzu closed her eyes, feeling a wash of pain run through her body, as her heart shattered within her chest. "No…let me go." She yelled as she tried to fight her way out of his hold on her.

----Meanwhile, in Egypt----

Isis's eyes shot wide open as fear laced up her spine. She sat up from her chair within the family room of the Ishtar manor, as she glanced out the window.

"Sister, is there something wrong?" Malik asked.

Isis glanced back at her brother. "I am afraid that Anzu is in trouble. We have to go to Japan right now."

"Yes sister." Malik responded.

----Back at Kaiba Manor----

Fear took control of Anzu's body, not wanting to face the same situation as before, except it was worse. This time someone else was taking a hold of the situation and he was using Seto's body. "Why are you doing this? What have you done with Seto?" Anzu yelled at her tormentor as she continued to struggled and thrashed out of Priest Seto's grip on her.

"Seto is gone. I have full control of this body and there is nothing or no one that can stop me." Priest Seto chuckled as he pin Anzu's arms above her head. He held her arms with his left hand as he moved his right hand on her stomach, placed his it under her tank top, slowly moving up towards to one of her breasts. "Now shall we get started and finally become as one?"

Anzu closed her eyes tightly, trying to hold back the tears, as her heart screamed. "Please…don't do this." She yelled.

"Yell all you want. No one is here to save you. You belong to me now." Priest Seto stated as he slowly pulled her tank top up. As he placed his right hand firmly on her left breast, a surge of energy ran through Priest Seto's soul, hurting him to no end. His grip on Anzu's arms release as he shot up from his position, screaming in pain. "What is happening to me?"

Anzu laid there frozen as she witness Priest Seto yelling in pain.

"Run…run Anzu." Anzu's eyes shot wide open as she heard Seto's voice escaping from his lips. "Seto?"

Priest Seto continue to yell in pain, fighting with his other half as they both fought over the control of the body. "No…you can not take control of my actions. You are trapped and will never regain your body ever again." Priest Seto yelled.

"Like hell I will let you hurt Anzu. Give me back my body." Seto yelled back at his other half.

Anzu still stayed frozen on the bed as she continued to witness the two Setos arguing with each other within Seto's body.

"A…Anzu…I told you to run." Seto yelled through his body. "Quickly. I…I don't know how long I can hold him."

Without hesitation, Anzu was about to get herself away from the situation, however her escape was futile as she found herself pinned once again below Seto's body.

Anzu's eyes shot wide open as she looked up into Seto's blue eyes. "Seto?"

"Wrong." Priest Seto stated as he held Anzu firmly underneath him. "Nothing will stop me, not even Seto from achieving my goal."

Hot tears ran down Anzu's face, drifting into a sea of darkness as Priest Seto placed his hand once again upon her breasts, continuing to have his way with her. "No…someone help me."

­----Meanwhile back at the Anzu's house----

Yugi arrived at Anzu's house as he knocked on her front door. He waited for a few seconds until he knocked again. After a few minutes of knocking, Yugi realized that something was wrong. She knew he was coming over and yet her house stayed silent. No light within the house as silence stayed dormant. Yugi grabbed for his cell phone as he dialed Anzu's number. He could here her house phone ringing within her dark home, yet no answer. He hung up and dialed her cell number, yet no answer. He hung up as fear ran though his soul. "Where is she?"

As Yugi looked around outside Anzu's house, trying to figure out where she was, a black limo pulled up on Anzu's driveway. Yugi looked over and saw Mokuba step out. "Yugi what are you doing here? Is there something wrong?"

"I am here to see Anzu, yet she is not home, or answering her cell phone. Wait what are you doing here Mokuba?"

Mokuba looked at his watch realizing what time it was. "I don't get it; Anzu should have been home by now."

Yugi's eyes shot wide open as he approached Mokuba. "What do you mean she should have been home by now?"

Mokuba looked at the frightened Yugi in front of him as he spoke. "Well I pick her up, to take her over Seto's and my home, so she can sign some papers for the dancing school in Japan that Seto got her in. She should have been down with that along time ago."

Anger rose in Yugi's chest as he glared at Mokuba. "What! You took her to him. She could be in danger."

Mokuba glared back as he responded. "I promise Seto would do nothing to harm her. I am sure there is an explanation to why is not home right now. She might still be at the manor. I will take you to her."

"Let's go." Added Yugi as him and Mokuba got into the limo and drove to the Kaiba manor. "Please Anzu…be alright?"
