Anzu eyes fluttered open as a burst of light hit her eyes. She yawned and blink a few times and went back to sleep.Imedietly, she opened her eyes and sat up. She felt a huge pain in her arm. She clutched her arm. She could see the blood soak through the dark fabric on the wound.She tried to ignore the pain and look around. Light burst through the windows. Something caught Anzu's eyes. It was a picture of a young boy and his sister sitting on the table across from her. 'That boy...he's so happy...'

Slowly, she climbed out of the bed and check herself. She was fully dressed though her yellow tank now looked like a bra. The bottom part was torned off, showing her belly button and a few inches higher. She walked out into the living room. She could see the door to the kitchen and a bathroom and...Ken. He was sleeping on the couch.Anzu walked over and kneeled down, her face inches from Ken's. The sunlight from the window showed the outlines of his face. 'He's so cute when he sleeps....'Anzu though but pulled the roughly aside. Her hand was reaching to stroke Ken's face when the eyes burst open, causing her to jump and fall. He sat up.Malik was reaching for his Millennium rod when he remembered. "Sorry."

Anzu to a deep breath. "It's okay. Where I'm I?" She asked, clutching her damaged arm.Malik helped her up. "This is my Apartment. I couldn't take you to your house because I don't know were it was."Anzu made her way to the kitchen.Malik followed her, not even knowing why.

'I don't get it. I haven't turned her into a mind slave and still here I am, saying sorry and following her!' the very confused Malik stopped as Anzu searched through all of the cabinets and cupboards. "Anzu, What are you doing?"Malik asked, surprised at her actions.

"Oh course dummy! Find us Breakfast and me bandages!"Anzu smiled.Malik found himself staring at her for a few seconds. He shoved that roughly aside and leaned against the wall. "You won't find anything there. I don't eat here alot.We need to go shopping."Malik smirked, no knowing he said 'we'. Anzu nodded. She waited outside as Malik locked the doors.

Walking down the streets, Anzu tried making conversation. "About last night, thanks a lot." Malik reply was a grunt. Anzu continued, "I'm going to make it up to you somehow Ken. I'm really glad you were there." Anzu's words sinked in. I'm going to make it up to you somehow Ken. I'm really glad you were there. Malik muttered, "You don't gotta…"Anzu shook her head. "I want to. That will be my promise. I need to change anyways so I need to go to my house. Come on! You don't need to pay or anything." Anzu grab Malik's hand and arm.Malik, surprised and shocked, was led off.

Yami sigh. He was trying to contact Anzu for the last 2 hours.Kaiba, waiting outside with the rest of Yami's friends, smirked. "Can't contact your girlfriend?" Yami said nothing. Mokuba piped up, "You don't think she was caught by the rare hunters, do you big brother?" Kaiba shook his head. "One things for sure, Anzu has a lot a sprit and won't get caught that easily." Joey smirked.

"Getting a little touchy on Anzu hmm? I'm not surprised. Yami's got the hots for her too."Yami blushed and Kaiba smirked. "I wouldn't talk puppy. You drool over Mai herself. I'm not even sure if you can even talk to her without stuttering." It took Tristan, Bakura, Serenity, and Mai to hold Joey down. Joey growled. Yami walked off. Kaiba smirked. "So, going to your girlfriends?" Joey stopped and chased after them.

"Yo, Yami! Wait for me!"

Anzu unlocked her door and followed Malik in. She opened the windows and turned to Malik."Wait here." Malik nodded.Anzu walked upstairs. Malik looked around. There were pictures and papers everywhere on the coffee table.Malik pick up a picture.Anzu and Yami where smiling at the beach.Malik gritted his teeth.he picked up another picture.Anzu was holding up a peace sign.Malik dropped that first picture and put the other one in his pocket.Anzu walked down the stairs. She was wearing a blue tank and a blue skirt. Her arm was bandaged tightly. She smiled and Malik and picked up her purse.

"Ready, Ken?" Malik blushed and nodded. "Alright! Let's go."

Anzu and Malik walk through Battle City. "So, where do you want to go?" Malik smirked.Anzu felt her cheeks grow hot.Malik pointed to a pizza restruant. Anzu nodded. Once they got in, Malik saw Yami."I'll be right back." Malik muttered and slipped behind a curve. Anzu, confused, walked over to them. She could hear them talking about how many Locator Cards they had. Joey was just talking that he had 5. Anzu smiled.

"That's great Joey." Yami said, not really paying attention. He was worried about Anzu.They went to her house but she was not there.

"Yami......"He felt a gentle hand on his sholders.Yami turned.Anzu was standing right next to him. She smiled,"Hi!" Yami smiled and moved over to make room for her.Anzu shook her head. "I'm sorry but I can't. I'm here with someone. I'm repaying him for saving me and taking care of me." Yami searched Anzu.

"Are you okay?!" Anzu smiled and showed them her arm. Joey grabbed it for better inspection.Anzu wince in pain and Joey let go.

"So, who's this man that saved you?"Mai said, leaning forward.Anzu blushed and replied, "His name is Ken and he saved me from these thugs. I got cut and fainted so he helped me. He's over here somewhere."Anzu looked around.Malik was no where too be seen. She shrugged and turned to face her friends.

"I'll see you later okay? Bye Yami!" Anzu walked off. Once she turned the corner, she felt someone grab her and she turned to see who it was. It was ken. Anzu sigh with relief. Malik watch Yami and the others walk outside and disappear. "So, you wanna eat here?"Anzu asked, "And what was that?" Malik shook his head.

"Come on, let's eat." Malik sat down on a table next to the windows. Anzu sat down, looking at Malik. A waitress came over and asked what they wanted.

"Can I have a Coke and a large pizza with pepperoni?" Anzu smiled at Ken. Malik stared at her. 'She wants me to go broke....'

"Give me the same." Once the waitress left, Anzu asked, "What was that? With my friends and all. Where did you go?" Malik gritted his teeth. 'I can't tell her.....Make shit up'

"I saw my friends too." Anzu smiled. She could see him clearly now. The sun showed off his White hair and purple eyes.' He look like Bakura....maybe there related' Anzu thought.

"It's rude to stare you know." Anzu snapped back to reality. Malik raised an eyebrow and smirked. Anzu blushed.

"Well, anyways, if I'm going to be your friend, you might want to tell me about your self. Do you live in that apartment by yourself?" Malik nodded. Anzu sigh." I live in a house all alone too. My parents," Malik gritted his teeth, "They left me. They abandoned me and left me in that house. People think they died in a car crash. But that's not even fucking true. They had a babysitter take care of me until I fell asleep and they paid her and they all left. And I was only 6 at the time but I know this."

"What about you? Where are your parents?" Anzu asked. Malik shot a glare and shook his head. Just then, two pan pizzas' came and there drinks. Anzu picked a pizza up, smirking. "Tell you what. I'll pay for everything if you tell me. Order as much as you want." Malik stared at her, not giving in. Anzu sigh. "Okay what then?"

Malik smirked." You have to stay with me." Anzu smiled. "Done." "What? You know what I mean right?"

Anzu nodded." To live with you in that apartment of yours." Malik stared again. Anzu sigh, "You see, I get lonely. But I never ask anyone to stay because everyone except you thinks I'm a girl that's always too damn happy with friendship and all. And I know you get lonely because of your own reason." Malik smirked.

"My father was killed and my mother died." Anzu bit her pizza.

"And your sister?" Malik looked surprised.

"How do you know I have one?"

"There's a picture in your room. With you and this older girl. She looks like your sister." Anzu assumed.

"She's gone somewhere."

Anzu grabbed her third pizza. "I'll move in today." Malik nodded. "So what do you do on your free time?"

"Duel." Anzu smiled. She pointed to a man with a dueling disk. Malik nodded and grabbed his fourth pizza.

"Okay, check this out. If you duel me and win, I'll make dinner tonight. If I win, you have to teach me how to play better." Malik smirked.

"Hurry up then." Malik grabbed his sixth pizza. Anzu nodded and grabbed her seventh.

'This is gonna be so fun......' Anzu thought as she took a bite of her pizza.
