[Chapter 5]
~
The night was tense as Anzu tossed and turned. Beads of sweat fell from her head. Her breathing became hoarse and she was entangled within her sheets. She moaned out and tears rolled down from her face. She quivered in fright and gasped out for help. The door quickly opened and a figure ran up to her bedside. A hand was placed on her wet head and the figure whispered softly to calm her. Her thrashing died down and her expression relaxed. Then She jerked up, sitting on her bed. She gasped up for breath. She turned to her side and saw Seto there in a worried expression. Tear fell freely as she threw her arms around him. She cried hard, and was gripping on him for comfort. Seto hugged her firmly, and rocked to and fro. He whispered, as her sobs quieted. "Anzu… it's ok. I'm here."
She buried her face into his chest. "They're gone… they're all gone…" she whimpered. Seto looked down at her. 'She's just taking it in that they are really dead…' He whispered in his head. He rested his head on top of hers as she silently cried. "…And…" She choked. "…I'm… all alone…" Her voice trembled. Seto held on to her tightly. "No you're not…" He said grimly. "I promise you're not…" He whispered.

Mokuba
I don't understand anything anymore. The whole day, Anzu was quiet. She wouldn't even speak to me, and it made me worry more for her. She didn't even look straight at me. She would usually help me out in cooking and we didn't have our walk around the park today. I feel as something happened to her, cause she is locking herself away from us. She is like a ghost. She turned out to be what she was before she planed to stay here. Ok, well before she was a little hesitant around the house. But now, she is like an empty vessel that is wondering to find a soul. Whoa, I guess I'm watching too many cartoons. Heh.
It was dinnertime, and I was finished fixing dinner. Seto was upstairs the whole day; he didn't even come down for lunch. I had to eat with Anzu, alone, silently. The tension is really bugging me… I spot Anzu sitting on the window banister. She looks lost. She was looking out the window, staring at nothing peculiar. It was dark out and rainy. I hate rainy days. I wipe my hands on a cloth and cleaned up a bit. When I was finished setting the food out, I headed over to Anzu. She just kept staring outside. I took a deep breath before I spoke to her. "Anzu?" I whispered, afraid that maybe she'd yell at me or something. But she didn't even turn her head to look at me. "It's… time to eat…"
She looks so pale. She has to eat, or else she'd be sick. Seto wouldn't want her to be. But then, why is he ignoring her? I bit my lip and rolled over to the table. I didn't want to wait for them, so I ate… by myself. But knowing that someone is down here with me is all I need to know I'm not alone. I looked up and saw Anzu sitting on the chair next to me. I got freaked out a bit, cause she just appeared with out a sound. I smiled slightly at her, even though she's not even looking up. She was just staring at her lap. "Tell me if the food is ok. I tried to cook something new, today." I said to her. But she didn't reply or move. Gosh, it's like I'm talking to a dead person. No offence, though.
A light of hope flickered in my eye as I saw her slowly eating. She took little bites and didn't say anything. I smiled, knowing that she loves it. She would always like everything I do. So I continued on with my dinner. From time to time, I would look up to see how Anzu is doing. After dinner, she finished the whole plate and she didn't move from her chair. I rolled over and took her plate and mine. When I came back from the kitchen to get the other plates, she was gone. I looked around to see her staring out the window again. It's like she never moved from that spot at all. I shivered a bit, and continued my task. I feel bad for Anzu though. Tomorrow the doctor is coming to check on me. Maybe he can check on Anzu and see what's wrong, hopefully. I just want Anzu back filled with so much life again. I like her better when she smiles or when she laughs at me when Rin comes over.
"My, Mr. Kaiba. Your health is doing fine. I see that your legs hasn't recovered yet, but it will in due time." The doctor said as she pats my hand. I smiled at her. She's a really nice doctor. She understands how people feel when they all of a sudden become handicap. She is really good in the Psychology department. Seto hired her to come by every month, just to see how I progressed. I spot Anzu again on that same spot from last night. I became worried and looked at the doctor. "Dr. Elm?"
She stuffed in a few papers of reports on me in her brief case. She then looks up at me. "Hm?" She takes off her glasses. I turned my head over to where Anzu is. "Um… you see, my friend, she has gone through a lot lately, and um… she has been going to the hospital constantly." I carefully tired to choose my words. "Her friends and family… had been all murdered. But that was months ago. Say…four months ago. She was all ok and all, but then all of a sudden… she is quiet and ignoring all that is around her." I took in some breaths.
Dr. Elm was silent for a while, staring at the brunette. She put on her glasses and adjusted it. Then she looked at me. "Mokuba… has your friends…" I replied to her. "Anzu." I said. She nodded her head. "Anzu, was she like this the first time?" She questioned.
I thought about. "No. She was just a bit… well she would like… go to the extreme." I said. Dr. Elm put her hand on her chin, like she is in a thinking position. It was quiet for a while, and the waiting was killing me. I wanted to know what's wrong with Anzu, so I can help her. "Mokuba…" She said gently. "Anzu is in a state where she suddenly realizes that everyone is dead. I've seen it before, and this always happens to my other patients I have. It will take some time before she gets over this shock, unless she faces the problem and let her emotions run. I would help her out."
I furrowed my brows a bit. "So, she has to… go visit her friends?" To tell you the truth, she never did visit the cemetery since she has been with us. The doctor smiled and she patted my hand. "Try to take her there one day. Just keep on talking to her, even though she might not speak back. You have a big heart Mokuba." She smiles at me. I let those words get into my head. I smiled at the thought.
I waved good-bye to Dr. Elm as she walked in her car and drove away. I shut the door and made my way towards the living room. I stopped near the couch and stared at Anzu. One day, I will bring her to visit her friends. But I won't be the one who is going to get her there. Heh. I think I have a plan…

Third Person
It is late at night, and rain stared to pour again over the city. She stood there alone, just wearing her night outfit. She didn't care and let the rain soak her. She aimlessly walked down a path. She had to get away, somewhere. Her heart pained more than ever. The shock just suddenly overcame her. Tears never fell as she bottled up her feelings. She stopped over a bridge she used to walk to everyday with her friends. Memories filled her mind as she looked over to the little stream. 'They're never going to come back…' her mind whispered. She shook her head and trembled. Her knees have gone weak as she started to fall on to the floor. Soon her eyes were pouring with tears as she cried silently. The raindrops mixed with her salty tears. Her clothes were plaster on her slim figure. The pouring rain drowned all the noise that she couldn't hear herself cry out. She couldn't even hear if anyone would walk by. She didn't care if someone saw her. She just let herself drown in her misery and pain. Was her life destined to be…lonely?
I'm standing on a
bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
She stopped crying after awhile. She looked around and realized where she was. She stood up weakly and started to walk from the bridge. She didn't want those memories to haunt her. The coldness wrapped around her, but she didn't care. Nothing matters to her anymore. She kept on walking, with no place in mind. She was just lost in her empty thoughts. She looked for a place to rest her tired body. She had to get away, anywhere but here. There was no one left for her to scare her loneliness away. Ignorance shadowed her heart, not knowing what was going around her anymore. 'Why?' She asked herself. "Why?" She whispered. "Why did it have to be this way?" Her words quivered as she spoke. Her throat was tightening and her breathing became hoarse. She looked around the dark night; it was raining all around her. She was getting restless. Her world was starting to spin, for the lack of sleep she has been getting. She could feel her fingers were getting numb. But did she care? She looked around. '…I… I don't want… to be alone…' she confessed to herself. All of a sudden, her senses weren't responding to her commands. She wanted to keep on walking, but she tripped and fell.
I'm looking for a place
Searching for a face
is anybody here I know
'Cause nothing's going right
and everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
She thought she would hit the cold ground, but found out that there was no pain. She opened her eyes to see she was floating off the ground. Two strong arms were around her tiny waist. She became confused on how would someone would find her here. She suddenly felt warm. Her redeemer helped her up her feet. She didn't want to turn around. She felt those arms protectively hold her close to his body. The ice around her melted away. He was her only warmth. She suddenly trusted this guy, even though she didn't look to face him. She didn't care, as long as if he can take away her sorrow. She leaned in and closed her eyes. Tears were starting to form within her eyes. She didn't understand anymore. She couldn't take it. She clutched the arms around her, holding them tightly the best she could. "Take me away…" She whispered through the pouring rain. "…Take me…home…" She wanted to go to the new home she was given to. She suddenly realized that that was her new home to stay in. She bit her lip as tears were falling.
Oh why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yea yea yea
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Carefully, he turned the girl around. He embraced her and let her cry. She buried her face in his chest. "Why did you run away?" His voice was deep, but soft. He was sincere to her, and cared very much for her. He noticed how this girl suddenly changed his life. He wanted to hold her in his arms forever and to take away her sorrows. She clutched on to him for support. "I…it hurts…" She whispered. "I don't want…" She held him tightly. "I don't want to be alone anymore…"
He slightly pushed her back to make the girl look up at him. Their eyes locked into each other's. She felt herself go weak under his sapphire eyes. He brushed his finger across her cheekbone. His hand moves tuck away the hair from her face. He clearly saw her cerulean eyes. "Anzu…" he whispered. "You'll never be…" His forehead touched hers. He could hear her sobs quieting down. "Alone." He finished.
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
A rosy color formed on her pale skin. 'He's…changed.' She thought surprisingly. Then her eyes brightened. 'But for the better.' She smiled to herself. Anzu looked up into the dept of his eyes. It was filled with passion. She trusted him to let him control every part of her soul. His eyes were luring and his lips were tempting. She trembled as their lips neared one another's. Slowly they closed their eyes. First it was a little peck on the lips. They opened their to see the outcome. They were both blushing. But they wanted more then just that. Impatiently he bent down and kissed her soft and tender lips. She was taken by surprised but then she kissed back. They deepened their kiss and let the rain pour. He took her arms and pulled her closer to himself, causing her to feel like she would just melt right there. She suddenly felt whole, like a part of her just suddenly filled that emptiness. He was a part of her now, and she didn't want that to go away. Her arms encircled around his neck craving for more of his taste. Obediently he gently pressed his lips deeper into hers. After what seemed forever, they parted to take a breath. Anzu never felt like this before. She looked flushed about her actions. She looked up at him and stared deeply and lovingly into his dark eyes. "Seto…" She whispered. He smiled sincerely at her. They stood there, staring into each other's eyes, just letting the rain soak them. Not caring about their surroundings, love and desire enlightened the couple throughout the night. 'I guess…' She thought. 'I won't be alone anymore, because…' She smiled to herself. "I'm with you." She whispered.
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...
