*Kissed in a dream*

* * * * * * * * * * * *

As the two youths walked, unknown to them, they were being watched. The rare hunters followed wthin a distance, waiting for the time they would thake these two to their master.

"Anzu and Namu sitting in a tree s-c-r-e-w-i-n-g..."

Anzu gave a low growl and kicked him in the shins "Will you shut up? He not my boyfirend" she said and Jou gave a nervous sigh "Fine, I'll stop. Don't want to insult yer friend but I got the impression he's...well....anti- social" he spoke. "Jou how would feel if you're halfway around the world with no family or friends and you're all alone in a strange place with customs you're not familiar with" she defended. "Good point" he answered.

"I wonder how many locater cards Yuugi's has?"

"Dunno but he's pretty close to qualifying for the finals"

"So are you" Anzu said and Jou let out a proud smile "Yep, watch out duelists, Jounouchi Katsuya is going to kick you ass" he exclaimed punching his chest while Anzu just laughed at this. Both stop when they noticed they were no longer alone.

"Can I help you?" Jou ask to the man in front of him. Anzu eyes widened when she saw they were wearing trench coats similar to the rare hunters she encountered before when she was at Kaiba land. "Jou run!! These guys are dangerous" she cried. The one before them just smirked and attempted to grabbed Jou. "HEY!!" Jou snapped, and punched him in the stomach. "Got ya" he smirk and heard a cry behind him.

"ANZU!!" he cried out, seeing her in a guys grip unable to get out. "Let her go" he said dangerously and someone grabbed him from behind. "What the" he yelled and begin to struggle. More of the men in trench coats appeared before him and grabbing hold so he wouldn't break free.

"You creeps, let us go!!" Anzu snapped only to have the grip around her neck tightened "Lets take them to our master; he will enjoy playing with them" she heard one of them say. "HELL NO!!" Anzu thought to herself, she wasn't about to go with them, not with out a fight anyways. She begin to struggle again, much to the guys annoyance "SOMEONE HELP" she shouted. "Shut-up!!" one of them snapped and slapped her.

At that moment Anzu's body froze and her head slumped down as images begin to flash before her eyes. "Anzu!" Jou shouted out. "You're going to pay for that" he growled and saw Anzu beginning to wake up. "Anzu, you ok?" he ask but received no answer.

"Anzu?"

"Unhand me!!" she spoke. Before the rare hunter could speak she suddenly stepped on his foot and using the back of her head, slammed it into his face. She heard the guy cry out and letting his group loosen on her. She grabbed one of his arms and threw him over her, slamming him on the ground. Anzu turned to face the rest, her eyes set with a cold surface and she went into a fighting stance.

"Get her!!" one of them shouted. Three of the rare hunters charged at her. Anzu didn't move against their assualt. One of them lunged at her and she dodged, but not before kneeing him on the abdomen. She turned around sending a hard kick to another's side. She charged at the remaining rare hunters her fist in the air "How am I doing this?" Anzu thought to herself. Her body was completely doing all of this on it's own , the adrenaline was pumping through her body and a image flashed before her. "Akila?" she thought as she saw her fighting off a group of thugs, along with a boy who looked at a lot like Jou. She noticed her body was reacting with the exact same movement that the Egyptian female made.

"WATCH OUT!!"

Anzu got out of trance and hand slammed one of the men on the face, she felt something crack; probably his nose. As she fought against them Jou could only watch with his mouth gaping "Anzu.....she's.....when did she learn how to fight like that?" He thought. He knew not to cross Anzu when she was mad but he never seen her battle in a physical fight before. He soon was snap back to reality. "HEEEYAH!!!" she screamed out and head butted one of them while elbowing another. Jou felt the guys grip loosen and took the opportunity to punch him in the stomach. Anzu let out another cry charging them.

She saw the guys stepping back slightly frighten. That was until more rare hunters appeared. They began to surround her and Anzu raised her fist up, he body fully preparing to go all out even though it was aching, not accustom for heavy physical combat. Jou noticed her becoming tired from just fighting them off "I have to distarct them" he though and tackled on of them on the ground wile some of their attention diverted towards him.

He let out a wide grin, motioning them to come to him.

"That's right--BRING IT!!" He shouted as he charged at them with his fist in the air

Meanwhile...

"Show yourself coward!!" Yami snapped at the rare hunter. The Millennium eye on his forehead glowed brightly, indicating that his sworn enemy, Malik had appeared before him through his puppet. The hunter let out a menacing laugh, taunting the pharaoh before him.

"I'm afraid not Yami. We will duel when I feel like it" the hunter said in a taunting manner. "However" Malik began and stop, savoring the look on the pharaohs face before continuing. "Friendships and loved ones can be easily betray" he said mysteriously. Yami eyes widen in confusion "What do you mean?" he ask in a serious tone, his brow furrowed, waiting for his answer. Malik only chuckled at this.

"Answer me this: who he is most close to and to whom the other is one who his vessel loves dearly?"

"A riddle?" Yami thought to himself, biting his thumb. His eyes quickly widen in revelation "LEAVE MY FRIENDS OUT OF THIS!!" he snarled at the hunter. "My, aren't we a quick thinker?" Malik said mockingly.

"Malik, you're grudge is against me; leave them out of this"

Malik snickered at his words his amethyst eyes narrowing sardonically at him "I'm afraid not. Even as we speak my slaves are capturing them right now" he spoke and saw Yami's eyes widen in horror. Yami clenched his fists and teeth "You spineless bastard" he insulted and Malik snorted at this.

"Compliments will not help you save you idiot of a friend Jounouchi and Anzu" he said, adding a husky voice clinging after he said her name and much to his enjoyment, see Yami shake from rage. "You're friends shall make fine mind slave especially Anzu but, I may keep her as my personal slave for company" he said seductively through the puppet.

"Malik I'm warning you; leave them out of this" Yami threatened to him. "Why should I? It's much more fun to see you suffer, besides, are you worried? Worried for the fact that I know about her gift of seeing into the past? Your past more likely" he spoke. "How.." Yami trailed off.

"Malik leave Jou and Anzu alone, they have no part of this."

Malik ignored his response "Time is running out pharaoh and I'll have two mind slaves; well, one mind slave and a personal one for me" he spoke and begin to laugh maniacally before letting go of his control of the rare hunter, reducing him to a vegetable.

Yami immediately began to run as fast as he could, scouring for any sign of his friends. He felt Yuugi worried for both Anzu and Jou but a little more for his childhood friend.

//Yami, we have to hurry, before he gets to them//

\\ If he finds out about Anzu's dreams.\\

//Dreams? Yami what do you mean?//

"Yuugi when we slept at Anzu's house she told me, she began to have dreams, about the past, my past and premonitions of the future. If Malik finds out he will have the upper hand against us" Yami explain. Unbeknownst to him, his presence had caught eye of the ceo hosting the tournament, Seto Kaiba.

"I wonder where Yuugi is going in such a hurry?" he wondered to himself and a smirk played to his face "Well, now is a good time to relive him of his god card osirus" he spoke and began to follow him.

"Nii-sama"

"Mokuba, what's up?" he ask, speaking through his coat. "We found a god card" he answered back. "I know, I'm following Yuugi as we speak"

"No, there's two, one coming from Yuggi and an unidentified one where Yuugi is heading towards too" Mokuba spoke. "I'm on it" Kaiba finished and a smug smile came to him "Killing two birds with one stone" he thought. He heard something and looked up, only to see one of his choppers waiting for him.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"I can't fight them off anymore.."Anzu thought, panting, she was so tired, her body ache and it seem they kept on coming. She let out a cry when one of them grabbed her and twisted her arm painfully holding her neck with their other arm. "HEY!!" Jou shouted and begin to runs towards them "LET GO OF HER!!" he snarled raising his fist then all of a sudden a large rare hunter appeared before them. Jou's eyes widen as he felt the hunters fist impact against his stomach hard and he fell to the ground unconscious.

"JOU!!" Anzu shouted, struggling weakly. She saw the large hunter turn and began to walk towards her. The other rare hunters began to step away and left a opening between her and the large one. "What do you want with us? Why are you doing this? Answer me!" Anzu demanded. The hunter shook his head in reply. Anzu growled at this and felt the hunters grip loosen around her she elbowed him and attempted to make a run for it but felt something cover her mouth and nose.

"MMFFF!!"

She continue to struggle but her eyes begin to drop and she was seeing double of everything "Something's....in the.....cloth...." were her last thoughts before falling unconscious, in the large rare hunters arms. "Grabbed the other one, we will bring them back to Malik-sama" he spoke.

"Bacchus? Bacchus, wake up!"

Bacchus slowly opened his eyes in pain "Where am I?" he manage to speak. "We're at my home; you're not safe at the palace" the person spoke. Bacchus look around his surrounding the home was small but it humble. He eyes then caught Akila making something in the a bowl smashing whatever it was with the butt of her blade. He began to sit up.

"I advise you not to do that" she said.

Bacchus winced, he was right he looked down, seeing his wound was bandaged up but the blood was seeping through it and he was also shirtless (mmm...shirtless Bakura ^^;; anyways..) Akila looked up and with the bowl in her hands walk toward him to bed "I have to put on new dressings" she said bluntly while Bacchus just snorted at her.

"I can take care of myself you know"

"And that gape on the side of your stomach is evident enough" she spoke back and he let out a small growl at her. Even though, he allowed her to take off the soiled bandages. "This may sting" she warned and dipped her hand into the ball and took it out, reveling a green liquid on it. She applied it to his wound and he let out a cry "Damn it woman" he snapped.

"I warned you thief" she said, continuing to apply it on his wound. She then wrapped it with new bandages firmly but gently "That should stop the rest of the bleeding. You stay in bed until it heals completely" she advised. Bacchus look at her with suspicion "Why are you helping me?" he ask grabbing his near by knife.

"Because I wanted to"

Bacchus just smirked at her "Do you think this act will stop me from stealing the pharaoh's possessions, or even yours??" he ask smugly. "NO, but I do not care" she replied simply. "Why?' he ask much confused.

"Because I believe you are a man of honor, Bacchus"

Bacchus begin laughing at this looking at her snidely "Girl, there is no honor among thieves" he said. "I should know, I am the king" he answer brazenly to her. "Well, king of thieves, you may leave if you wish but first I suggest you stay and heal yourself" she spoke back casually.

"What makes me think I won't slit your throat Akila?"

"You won't, because of these" she spoke and grabbed her daggers where they were strapped at the side of her hips and begin twirling them. "Bitch" he replied to her and saw Akila smirk, much to his annoyance. "Little girl, won't your parent's become suspicious if they should see their daughter with a man alone in their house" he mocked at her.

"My parents are dead" she said solemnly. "Stay if you want, it does not matter to me" she said in a monotone. Bacchus looked at her and snorted quietly to himself, turning away, and laying his knife back on the ground besides him.

"I'll stay then, I cannot do much with this gape anyways" Bacchus replied trying to sound apathetic. "I see" Akila also said with apathy but her eyes told a different story they seem to lighten up slightly.

"She must be lonely" Bacchus thought.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"Well?"

"See for yourself, Malik-sama" Lisid spoke while the other rare hunters approached them with the two unconscious youths. Malik stood from his throne and walked towards them, to inspect his catch of the day. That's when he noticed, Anzu had bruises on her arms, neck and a light one on her cheek. He felt his blood boil and slapped Lisid across the face, then glared at the other surprised hunters.

"You imbeciles!! I ordered you to bring the girl unharmed!!" he roared at them. His eyes were narrowed into slits as he grip the rod tightly. "I will tell you only once, I want no harm to befall on her; if I see another scratch on her I will send your minds to oblivion!!!!" he snarled the rod beginning to glow brightly.

The scared rare hunters (except for Lisid) all bowed down in apology.

Malik smiled in satisfaction "Good, put the blonde idiot in another room of the piers warehouse's tied in a chair until I come for him, but leave the girl with me" he instructed. His slaves nodded, one of them handing Anzu to Lisid while the rest led Jounouchi away from Malik, Lisid, and the currently unconscious Anzu.

Malik, motioning to Lisid, began to walk toward the yacht that laid in wait for them inside the abandoned warehouse. He opened the door, walking to his room, with Lisid following them "lay her down on the bed" Malik spoke and Lisid only nodded gently laying the girl on his bed. Malik turned to look at her "How easy was it?" he ask looking at Lisid with a smug smile on his face. "Actually, she and the boy put up a hell of a fight" he spoke and saw Malik eyes widen in disbelief. "You don't mean she" he began pointing at her. Lisid nodded "Yes, I witnessed it, but unlike the boy, her fighting style, was similar to that which was taught to those who would protect the pharaoh" he answered to him. Malik look to Lisid then to Anzu with a pensive expression.

"I see. Lisid prepare for the plan I have set in mind, send out dark and light mask to confront Yuugi Muto and Seto Kaiba"

"How will we convince Seto Kaiba to duel Light and Dark mask?"

"Kidnap his brother, and rubbed it in his nose I'm sure he will have no second thoughts" Malik answer and saw Lisid salute him before leaving the room, only he and Anzu remain. Malik eyes trailed down Anzu's sleeping figure and he begin to walk to her. She look like she was in a deep sleep and Malik smile archly at his evil little plan. The back of his hand suddenly grazing her cheek softly. He scowled when he noticed the light bruise again "Those bastards" he snarled to himself. One of his fingers strayed, brushing against her pink lips by accident.

"Wow, they're soft and warm" he suddenly thought to himself and jerk his hand away when he realized what he just thought. "Why the hell did I think that? Of course lips are warm and soft! So what if hers are warm...soft....full...kinda inviting at the moment.... GAH!! STOP THINKING!!!!!!" he thought to himself. He shook his head, no, his first priority was sweet, sweet revenge then becoming the new pharaoh of the world.

"I can't let distractions stop me from my destiny" he spoke to himself, looking to Anzu, suddenly curious about what dreams she may have as of right now.

\ Yami\

/What?/

\ perhaps there's more to this girl than we know of\

/You just figured that out?/

\ Shut-it Yami, how will we use the dreams to our advantages?\

/use the rod, idiot/

\ How do I do that moron?\

/ Put your fingers against her forehead while you hold the rod in you're other hand/ Yami Malik explain with annoyance.

Malik look to the rod then to Anzu who was moving slightly, in a grip of a dream. He kneel besides her, putting his fingers on her forehead while holding the rod with the other. It began to glow the golden color and the light filled the room forcing Malik to shut his eyes.

He felt the light cease to exists and he slowly opened his eyes, only to face darkness. "Where am I??" he thought to himself. All of the sudden he heard panting and tunred only to see Anzu run for dear life, away from some one.

Or something

"YAMI!! WAIT!!"

His sight then diverted to the pharaoh and gasp "What is he doing, walking to valley of the kings doorway?" The brunette girl kept running to him but the pharaoh did not heed her call and faded out, into the darkness. She then followed him through the door way with Malik following "Yami? Yuugi? Where are you?" she called out but received no answer. She continue to walk deeper into the darken hall way "Yami? Yuugi?? Are you all right? Answer me" she spoke out and stopped in her tracks.

"Oh my god..."

Malik's eyes slightly widen as he saw the pharaoh and his hikaari laid unconscious, strapped against what seemed to be a sacrificial tablet. Unbeknownst to him, he became part of her dream and was going to be in for the surprise of his life.

"What do you want?" she spoke to him. "What the" he thought to himself. He manage to take a glance at himself and noticed he was black grabs similar to his rare hunter clothing. "O_O did I just become a part of her dream?!!?"

He felt his body move without control, suddenly grabbing her "They will be sacrifice to the darkness, as for you.." his mouth spoke without his command

Hey, does that mean I win? ^_^ heh heh, cool"

"Ahhh.mm."

Malik eyes widen as he suddenly found himself kissing her. HE WAS KISSING HER!! "Just a dream, just a dream" he thought to himself a bit freaked out. He felt himself deepen the kiss wrapping his arms around her, finding himself enjoying it, very much. He let his tongue slip him exploring her mouth, hearing her moan in pleasure and his hands begin to trail down her back slightly stopping above her hips. He broke the kiss and suddenly look at her hungrily while she look back slightly flush "Who are you?" she manage to speak regaining her breath.

"I'm the darkness you desire" he said seductively; he wanted to kiss her some more. "Darkness." she began but was cut off by Malik once again. Her legs gave out and he laid her on the ground kissing along her neck "This dream is fun" he thought to himself. His lips met with hers again more aggressively he let out a grunt of satisfaction now grabbing her rear. He heard let out a small squeal at his touch.

The light showed again and Malik found himself in the room he look around slightly gasping for air. He turned to Anzu who still look like she was enjoying herself "Damn" he thought to himself, he wasn't sure to be freaked out or satisfied.

/ I see you were taking advantage of your visit Malik /

\ Hey, it wasn't my fault she was dreaming about me; I just had a little fun \

/Grabbing her ass was fun?/

\......you saw that?.....\

Yami Malik sighed in annoyance "Good thing he's so easily to manipulate" he thought to himself. Soon, when the time was right, he would take over and everything would be covered in darkness like he would want it. "This dream worries me" he thought to himself remembering vividly about the interaction Malik and Anzu had with each other.

"Though it seems she did not know it was Malik under that robe" he spoke to himself.

Malik just looked at Anzu "I wonder what was that about?" he thought and then he looked down.

"Shit.."
