//She'll hate you forever.// Yami Malik shouted. //When she finds out that YOUR Malik! She will never want to have anything to do with you anymore!//
Malik stopped walking and hung his head in defeat. "Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP, DAMN YOU!"
//Ha, ha, ha! You know I'm right!// Yami Malik said, amused by this lights distress on the matter.
"I...I don't care..."
//What?//
"Yami Malik..." Malik took a breath. "I...I love..her...and...I don't want her hurt...if that means losing her to Yami by telling her who I really am...so be it..."

"Anzu...Anzu!" Yami shook his friend. "Anzu wake up! Anzu! Oh god...ANZU!"
Anzu's eyes opened slowly, she looked at Yami. "Huh? Yami...what's wrong?"
Yami quickly wrapped Anzu into a tight hug. "Your okay...oh my god your okay."
"Yeah....wait...what happened?" Anzu asked gently pushing herself away from Yami, confused.
"Anzu...Yami Malik took you over...and..." Yami paused and looked at Anzu's eyes, he slowly looked away.
Anzu just looked at Yami, her heart almost coming to a complete stop. "He's going to continue using me as a Mind Slave isn't he?"

Ryou made his way out of the darkened alley, weak from the last ten minutes of Bakura trying to take control of his body. But the same thing was on both his and Bakura's minds...Anzu.
'Why do I constantly think about her?' he asked himself as he sat by a garbage dumpster. He looked around slowly, then tilted his head back and closed his eyes. Anzu's face appeared in his head, and he couldn't get it to leave.
//Your not thinking what I think your thinking are you?// Bakura asked.
/Hmm?/ Ryou asked, a little spaced out. /What was that, Bakura?/
//Don't go thinking that Anzu could possibly fall for you.//
/What?/
//Your heard me, and you know that Anzu don't go for the weak.// Bakura sneered.
/What are you getting at?/
//I'm saying that Anzu is going to be mine.//
/...Bakura.../ Ryou let out a small sigh. /Don't get your hopes up...I'm not. She is closer to Yuugi and Yami than either than us. Damn, Namu has a better chance than we do./
//You mean you do.//
/No, I mean WE./
//Shut up.// Bakura barked.
"GAH!" Ryou groaned, it felt as if his head was going to crush in. "Bakura, stop!" but he never, the pain stayed there...and Ryou screamed.

Kamie walked through an alley, she lanced around. No one. Like always.
Then a scream cut through the air, it rammed into Kamie's ear, causing her to nearly jump out of her skin.
"He-hello?" she asked walking towards the end of the alley. "Who's there? What's wrong?"
"Kamie? Oh Kamie. Please...help me..."
"Ryou?!" Kamie's eyes shot wide open and she ran out of the alley and fell to her knees next to her friend. "Ryou...what's wrong?"
"...its...its Bakura..." Ryou said looking up at Kamie, his eyes full of pain. "...ahhhh..."
Kamie didn't know what to do, Bakura was inside Ryou's head, she couldn't stop him...or could she?
"Ryou...please....I know its going to be hard, but I need you to stand up and stay still..." Kamie said, she stood up and took out her sword.
"I'll...TRY." Ryou almost screamed as he rose to his feet.
"Please...let this work..." Kamie said under her breath. "Lor Somis..." the sword started to glow a dark purple, the misty flowed from the sword and covers Ryou.
The Millennium Ring glowed, and the pain flowed gently away from Ryou's head.
The mist cleared and the sword stopped glowing. Kamie's dropped the sword and fell to her knees, drain of all her energy she couldn't stand.
Ryou got down on his knees as well and held Kamie up, he looked at her. "Thank you."
Kamie gave him a weak smile. "...I couldn't let him do that to you..."
"What did you do to him?"
"I locked him away again in the Ring...for about twenty-four hours..." Kamie said. "...it was the best I could do..."
Ryou smiled. "Your best was all I needed."

"Hello there, guys." Malik said walking up to Yami and Anzu, he smiled. "What's up?"
"Hi, Namu..." Anzu said looking at him weakly.
"What's the matter?" Namu asked. "What happened?"
"Yami Malik," Yami said, "he took her over."
"What?" Malik gasped.
"Yeah...its true." Yami said. "Namu, can you do something for me?"
"Anything..." Malik said.
"Can you take Anzu home for me?" Yami asked.
"But, Yami." Anzu twirled around to look at him.
"No buts about it, Anzu...I'm not having you out here with Malik running around." Yami said, he looked to Malik. "So...will you?"
"I'd be happy to." Malik smiled. "Come on, Anzu..."
"...bye...Yami." Anzu said, she gave him a small wave and walked off with Malik.
They were almost to Anzu's house about a half hour later. They never talk all the way. Malik was trying to think of how he should tell Anzu. And he was also running through WHY he should tell her.
'She will probably die of I don't....' he thought.
"Namu?" Anzu asked. "Why are you so quiet."
Malik quickly looked at her as they stopped in front of Anzu's house. "...I don't know."
"Well, this is my stop..." Anzu said, she gave Malik a small hug. "Thanks for walking me here...."
Malik gently pushed her away. "Anzu..."
"What?" Anzu asked.
"I have to tell you something..." Malik took a breath and looked Anzu in the eyes. "I...I'm...."
