"So...you and Namu, huh?" Jou asked, he smirked as Anzu. "Cute."

"That's not funny, Jou." Anzu said. She looked to Yami, who kept his eyes on the ground in front of him. "Yami? Yami are you OK?"

Yami looked up at her, slurring his eyes at her. "...no...no everything's fine, Anzu."

"Are you sure?" Anzu asked putting her hands behind her back.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine." Yami stood up. "I must go now...see you guys."

"Yami..." Anzu sighed as she watched him walk away. "I'm sorry..."

"Don't be sorry, Anzu." Shizuka said with a small smile. "I think you and Namu are a cute couple."

"He, he. Thanks, Shiz." Anzu said smiling at her friend.

"Well ladies, I must part." Jou said. "My duels won't win themselves."

"Good luck." Anzu said as Jou walked away.

Shizuka smiled and looked to Anzu. "So...how is he? Does he kiss good?"

"Shizuka!" Anzu almost yelled, she laughed a little.

"Aw, c'mon!" Shizuka pleaded. "Tell me everything! And don't spare a detail!"

"You never give up do you?" Anzu asked still laughing at her friend.

//You're a fool.// Yami Malik said. //You fell for the one girl we can use and get away with it!//

"Shut up! Please!" Malik yelled. "I am feeling bad enough that I am hiding my true identity from her! Don't make this worse!"

//You disappoint me, Malik.// Yami Malik said. //I thought you were going to go along with our plan...well I'm not giving up! I'm still going to take over your girls mind!//

"No you won't..." Mali said, he looked in his bedroom mirror and saw Yami Malik looking back out at him. "I won't let you."

//Ha, ha, ha, ha! How can you stop me? When I take over your body you can't do anything about it!//

Malik's eyes narrowed.

//And the next time I take her over, I will get her to try things that will put her life in danger, the Pharaoh will try to save her..and he will fall in my trap!!//

"NO! SHUT UP!" Malik wheeled back and put his fist through the mirror.

Blood squirted from his fist all over the floor and mirror frame. Malik ripped off his shirt and wrapped his fist in it. He winced when he saw the blood he had lost all over the place, then he quickly left the room.

'I was only going with her for a day...why am I so protective over her already?' he thought as he stepped outside. "Ah...dammit."

He forgot all about the markings on his back and ran back into the house to put on another tank-top.

And leaving his hand wrapped up in his other shirt, he made his way down the street on search for Anzu. 'I have to tell her today, and get her to go as far away from me as possible! If not...my Yami may kill her....'

"So...do you want to drop into my house for awhile?" Anzu asked Shizuka as they walked. "Its pretty lonely there now since mom is gone on her business trips."

Shizuka chuckled. "OK, Anzu. And since your all by yourself, why don't we invite the guys over for a couple of days."

"Your pushing it, Shizuka." Anzu said with a laugh.

"But you won't be lonely with all us there!" Shizuka said. "Please? It'll be a cool little party."

"A little party with Jou and Honda in the same house?" Anzu asked sweat-dropping.

"Ha, ha...I never really thought about that." Shizuka scratched the back of her neck nervously.

"Hey! Guys over here!"

Anzu and Shizuka looked over into an alley, Kamie and Ryou walked out slowly.

"Hey, guys!" Anzu waved.

"What's up?" Kamie asked when they got to them.

"Nothing..."

"You guys wanna come to Anzu's house for a couple of days?" Shizuka said jumping to the opportunity.

"Sure." Ryou said with a grin.

"Great, come on!" Shizuka grabbed Kamie's arm and they both ran down the road.

Anzu sweat-dropped. "My house is going to be destroyed."

Ryou laughed. "Don't worry Anzu. I think Shizuka knows what she's doing."

"Yeah...I guess."

"So, are you going to invite Namu?" Ryou asked.

"You know I am. He'll probably be around anyway!" Anzu said with a big smile.

"ANZU! YOUR DOOR IS LOCKED!" Shizuka yelled from Anzu's front bridge.

"I know!" Anzu yelled back.

***~***

"So, are you going to Anzu's party thingy?" Jou asked.

"Yep, I wouldn't miss it for the world!" Yuugi said. "How about you Yami?"

"I don't know." Yami said.

"Aw, why not?" Honda asked. "This is going to be great!"

"I know, and I bet you will find a way to sneak booze in there, Honda." Mai said sweat-dropping.

"Way ahead of ya!" Honda said, he opened up his jacket, in his inside pockets where bottles up on bottles of booze of all kinds.

"YA! I LOVE THIS GUY!" Jou said giving Honda a high five.

"Maybe you SHOULD run for your life and not come Yami." Mai said crossing her arms.

"Actually..." Yami looked up at Mai. "I think I will go..."

"Great!" Yugi said. "Hey guys, maybe Namu will be there."

"You know he is." Mai said rolling her eyes.

"Hey, Namu is a cool guy." Jou said. "He was always cool towards me; and I think him and Anzu make a cool couple."

'Shut up, shut up.' Yami thought, he kept back the urge to get up and punch Jou's lights out. 'Whoa...wait...why do I care about Namu and Anzu dating...gah...I can't be jealous...no! I'm not! I must be having a bad day or something...'

**

Malik walked up to Anzu's house, the sun was going down, and he was beat out. "I...have...to tell...her...." he walked up on the bridge.

"NAMU! ANZU! NAMU'S HERE!" Shizuka said pushing open the door.

"AH!" Malik yelled almost falling back down over the stairs.

"Namu, buddy!" Jou said walking up behind his sister in the door.

"What's going on here?" Malik asked recovering from his state of shock.

"I planned a party." Shizuka said with a small laugh, she grabbed Malik's arm and dragged him in the house. "I'm so glad you're here, Anzu is in the kitchen if you need to speak to her."

Malik sweat-dropped as he made his way to the kitchen. Anzu was stood up by the sink, she was wearing tight black leather pants and a black sparkly tank-top. "Anzu?!"

Anzu turned around quickly. "Hey, Namu." she said with a smile. "I'm so glad you're here!! ...oh my! What happened to your hand?!"

The blood was soaking through the shirt Malik had wrapped over his fist. "Nothing...had an accident..."

"You bleeding a lot!" Anzu said, horrified.

"Its nothing...really." Malik said.

"Yes it is!" Anzu grabbed him and lead him into the bathroom. "You can't let it bleed like that!"

//I guess you WON'T tell her tonight.// Yami Malik laughed. //So I still have time to have some fun...//
