To all of my reviewers:

I thank you for all the ideas you gave as couplings. I have not decided yet as to who(m) the final coupling will be. I suppose as I write this story, I will decide. In the meantime, enjoy!

In the alternate dimension, everyone will be called by his or her English names. I hope that that will not confuse anyone.

Present Timeline- Anzu Mazaki, Yuugi Mutou, Yami Yugi, Ryou, Bakura, and others.

Alternate Timeline- Tea Gardner, Yugi Moto, Yami, Bakura, Yami Bakura, and others.

((Blah)) Faeora talking to Anzu telepathically

Tangles of One's Heart: Chapter Two

~oo00oo~

*Why did I bring my dueling deck anyway?* Anzu thought as stepped through the gate with Faeora. Her blue eyes searched the surroundings as to see if she recognized anything. *It's not as if I would need it, but I had decided that I needed it. I wonder if I would put it to good use?* Anzu returned to gaze at the surroundings. The land did not seem familiar to her.

"I don't recognize this at all." Anzu commented.

Faeora fixed her grey eyes on her. "In this alternate dimension Anzu, everyone uses weapons and magic. That is why the surroundings are different. We have to find your double." she said.

Anzu blinked. "My double?" she repeated.

"Yes. You have a double just like your friends have one. You might find your double to be different then what you're expecting." Faeora answered.

"How can we find my double? I don't see anybody around." Anzu asked.

"Since I am a goddess Anzu, I can transform into anything that I desire. I will transform into a necklace, which will lead you to her." Faeora responded.

Anzu was unsure if Faeora could really do something like that. She did not reply to the goddess. Instead, she watched as Faeora glowed white and a sapphire necklace appeared in her hand. She gasped.

((Don't be so surprised Anzu. Like I said before I have this power. With this necklace, you will find your double.))

Her blue eyes widened as she heard Faeora's voice in her mind. "This must like how Yami talks to Yugi and vise vista. Alright if you say that this necklace will lead me to my double; then show me the way." she said.

The sapphire necklace glowed a faint blue and seemed to point to the northwest. Anzu, amazed by it, headed in that direction.

~oo00oo~

"So Faeora has taken the girl known as Anzu Mazaki to an alternate dimension?" a voice spoke.

"She has indeed. I burnt the letter that she left for the girl's parents. Now they will think that she was kidnapped."

"Excellent work. Faeora is a fool for bringing the girl there. Which one was it anyway?"

"I do not know my lord. Faeora didn't mention which one in her conversation."

"I see… very well, you may go. I wish to be alone."

"At once my lord."

As soon as his servant left, the person in the shadows stood. They started to laugh uncontrollably.

"It has been a while since we have fought Faeora. You will regret involving the girl. With you busy helping her; I can strike against the Millennium Item holders. But first I need to do some preparations before I decide to strike."

~oo00oo~

The necklace seemed to lead Anzu to a clearing. In this clearing, a crystal-blue river ran through under a bridge. Squinting her eyes, Anzu thought she saw a figure across the bridge. *I wonder? Is that my double?*

((Why don't you find out?)) Faeora's voice echoed in her mind.

With the decision made, Anzu slowly made her way to the bridge. Her heart leapt as she crossed the bridge. Stopping at the edge, she could see clearly, who it was. Petit brown hair cascaded around their shoulders and it appeared they were training with a bow and arrow?! Nervous, Anzu walked closer to her double and paused before speaking.

"Um, excuse me?" Anzu asked.

The girl holding the bow and arrow stopped when she heard a voice. Lowering the bow, she turned around. She gasped when she saw someone who looked exactly like her! The main difference was that this girl wore casual clothes.

"You look exactly like me! Who are you?" the girl asked.

Anzu had the same thought. *She is me, but she looks more mature. I mean look at her! She trains with a bow and arrow! Her clothes definitely are warrior type or something*

"Well… I am Anzu Mazaki. What about you?" Anzu responded.

"Strange, I have never heard of that name before. You may call me Tea Gardner." Tea replied.

*Tea Gardner? I have never heard of that…wait! That's right! Jou had brought over some American tapes that featured us in a show called Yu-Gi-Oh! And did we make fun of many people including my character. The Americans must be cautious as to what stuff they show the kids. That's my supposed English name!*

"Tea, do you really use a weapon? What about Duel Monsters?" Anzu inquired finally.

Tea looked at Anzu for a moment before swinging her bow over her shoulder. *She seems to be surprised or something that we use weapons. What's this Duel Monsters?*

"You seem surprised that we use weapons here. Duel Monsters? What's that?" Tea spoke.

*So they don't know what Duel Monsters are… I was hoping that maybe I could have dueled someone…* Anzu sighed silently.

She stared into Tea's eyes. "Duel Monsters…is complicated. It will take a while to explain what it is. I'm not used to seeing a weapon like that." Anzu replied. *I would love to see it though…*

Tea let the info sink in. Her blue eyes softened.

"Hmm…I wonder if maybe you're the one that we have been waiting for. It is said one will come to our world to help us." Tea pondered out loud.

"Huh?" Anzu said. She was confused. *What does Tea mean that the one will come to our world to help? Does she think that's me?*

Anzu still was confused. "What?" she asked.

Tea laughed at this. "I think you need to meet the others and then we shall explain to you everything. You need to explain as to why you're here." Tea said.

"Alright." Anzu said. She allowed Tea to show the way.

~oo00oo~

"Alright, which dimension did Faeora take that girl?" The mirror in front of them glowed and images formed. "Interesting. I would have thought that Faeora would have taken her to a different reality. Or didn't she realize which one she took that Mazaki girl to? She will be too late when she returns anyway."

~oo00oo~

Inside the necklace, Faeora frowned. She had not realized that that's why magic and weapons were used. But then again this world seemed to call her to bring Anzu. *Anzu will find herself here and her feelings. Maybe helping Tea and the others here will benefit her.*

Anzu blinked as she studied the surroundings as Tea lead her on. In the distance, she could see a building.

"Is that our destination Tea?" Anzu asked.

"It is. Come on." Tea replied.

Her double led Anzu to the double doors and Anzu stared at who she saw waiting by the doors. It was Ryou! That's what Anzu calls him. In this alternate dimension he's called Bakura.

Bakura leaned against the wall of the building when he noticed Tea. He had been waiting for her to return from her training. He was about to say hi, when he saw an exact double next to her!

"Tea, who is that?!" Bakura asked in his British accent.

"That needs to be addressed Bakura." Tea said, entering the building with Anzu.

Bakura blinked for a moment before following.
