Night was falling and Yami and Anzu had searched all over the area, the nearby woods included.
"Where did those guys go?," asked Anzu getting a bit worried and exhaust evident on her features.
Yami could sense her worry and tried to sense Jou and the others. "Take a break Anzu, it's obvious you're upset and getting tired."
"But---"
He cut her off. "We'll look again in a little while..."
She sighed already defeated and sat down on the green grass to rest for a few minutes before starting the search once more.

"Jou, hang in there! You're life points are down to 400!," yelled Honda.
'Like I didn't already know that.,' thought Jou as he looked over the cards in his hand.
His opponent had been able to counter every play Jou had made.
'I wish Yuugi was here...no...can't think like that, I need to beat this guy on my own.'
"Remember what Yuugi is always telling you about the heart of the cards, Jou!," yelled Bakura.
"Right...trust in the cards..." Jou closed his eyes and drew the first card on the top of his deck. He slowly held up the card and opened his eyes...
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami stood a few feet in front of Anzu, his back to her. His eyes were closed as he could sense Jou and the tension in the air.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jou looked at the card in his hand. 'I can't remember what this card does! Where's Yuug when I need him?!'
"Don't give up Jou!," encouraged Honda.
"You can still win!," cried Bakura.
'No...I can't do it! I can't remember what this card does! I just can't do it without Yuug this time. It's over....'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anzu noticed a golden light surrounding Yami. She arched an eyebrow watching him from behind.
'What's going on? Am I imaging things?'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'I've lost...I'm so sorry sis.,' thought Jou in defeat.
Suddenly.......
'Jounouchi...you CAN win this duel. You know what that magic card does. Trust in yourself and the cards.'
'Yuugi?!' Jou looked around quickly. 'Must have been my imagination....'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The eye of Horus shown brightly on Yami's forehead as he stood in front of Anzu still, his eyes closed....
'Jounouchi, trust in the cards...you're not going to loose if you trust in the heart of the cards...believe me...I know...'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Yuugi's right...I just need to trust in the heart of the cards and trust in myself....now....this card...Ahah! I remember what it does!'
Jou played his red eyes black dragon and then activated his copy cat magic card on the playing field. Now he could copy his opponents move. With one final blow from his red eyes Jou won the match.
"Way to go, Jou!," yelled both Honda and Bakura.
'I can't believe I won...it's all because of Yuugi too...'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Yuugi did not do anything to help you, Jou....and neither did I....you believe in yourself and in the cards. I knew you would win anyways...'
Yami slowly opened his eyes as the eye of Horus disappeared from his forhead. His eyes then met Anzu's. He blinked suddenly to find her standing in front of him.
"Anzu?"
She looked him over in confusement. 'Who are you?,' she wondered. 'You're not the Yuugi I know...so confident...and handsome...' She found her face feeling a tad warm. 'Where did THAT come from?! And what exactly is Yuugi's Millenium Puzzle?'
"Anzu, Jou and the others are fine now...you don't have to worry anymore."
Anzu blinked and then nodded her head, looking down...
"Anzu, what's wrong?" Yami took his right hand and cupped her chin, while lifting her chin up so she made eye contact with him.
Anzu became lost in Yami's eyes. They were so intense, it was as if she could feel his gaze burning into her soul.
Yami watched her eyes. This was the girl that Yuugi loved...he found himself understanding why he loved her like he did...
'Anzu...I....' He shook the thought from his mind. He couldn't possibly love her...not with things the way they were. Even if Anzu did express love, it wasn't for him but for Yuugi. 'I should be dead...yet this boy needs me. I only exist to protect him or fight his battles due to my experience...but...then I return to the puzzle where I live in solitude until the next time I'm summoned. How did I come to be in the Millenium Puzzle? Something tells me the memories await to be reborn in my mind, yet something blocks them...'
Anzu noticed that the look in Yami's eyes had changed. The once cocky and confident adolescent now looked like he carried a great sadness inside of him.
'He looks so sad and lost...I wonder what I can do to help?'
