Anzu ran down the street. Rain pounded down on her already soaked body. She slipped and fell to her knees.

"I have been....running around...for hours..." she said.

Blood ran from her cut up knees and flowed down the street along with the water.

"Oh..." Anzu winced in pain and lied down in the water. "I give up...he probably don't want to hear from me now anyway...Tea was wrong..."

A stinging pain shot up through Anzu's knees, and she reached down to touch one...and pricked her finger.

"Glass..." she whimpered giving the sharp object in her knee a hard tug, hauling it out.

She could feel more blood gushing out, but she no longer cared. She had failed to find Malik, so she just lay there.

**

He wasn't sure what it was, but Malik suddenly had the sensation to look down. When he did he saw that the water flowing by his feet had a tint of red to it. "What the?"

//Its blood genius.//

"I know that!" Malik snapped. "But where did so much of it come from?"

//Maybe someone is in trouble.// Yami Malik said in a mocking voice.

"Shut up.." Malik said. He continued to watch the bloody water flow by. "But that IS a lot of blood...I better run up the road to see if someone DO need help."

//I was only shittin' you, Malik.// Yami Malik said. //Don't, lets just get out of the rain.//

"Fat chance..."

Malik ran up the street as fast as he could. 'I got a feeling...' he thought.

Before he could finish, he spotted Anzu lying on the sidewalk.

"Holy shit..."

The sound of his voice made Anzu slowly sit up, she looked back at him, her wet hair sticking to her face. "Hey..."

"Anzu...what are you doing out here?" Malik asked running up to her.

"...I was looking for you..." Anzu answered. "I...I needed to tell you..."

Just at that time, the Millennium Rod glowed, and a figure was formed behind the two.

"Malik..." Anzu gasped. It was Yami Malik, he had managed to get out of the Rod.

"Huh?" Malik looked back at his Yami, who, as soon as their eyes met, kicked him in the side and rolled him to one side of Anzu.

"You never did listen to me, Malik..." Yami Malik said. "So your going to learn the hard way." Yami Malik waved his hand and Anzu's eyes went blank.

"NO! Yami Malik don't!" Malik yelled.

"You can't stop me now, Malik." Anzu said, her voice was disoriented and echo like from where Yami Malik had control over her. "Now I shall destroy you and what you hold dear."

"Yami Malik please...let her go." Malik said as he stood up. "NOW!"

"Why, this is so much fun." Yami Malik said as he made Anzu walk up to Malik. "You will now be killed by the hands of your true love..."

"Anzu...Anzu please." Malik said. "Don't let him control you...Anzu please snap out of it..." Malik would have tried to use his own powers to help her, but he knew his magic couldn't match up to those of his Yami's.

"She can't." the words came from Anzu's lips slowly. "And she never will...after she destroys you, I will destroy her." Anzu's small hands grabbed Malik's shoulders with extreme force.

"Gah." Malik said, he knew what his reflexes wanted to do, and that was punch out Anzu' for grabbing him...but he couldn't hurt her...he COULD hurt Yami Malik, however.

"Let her go, Yami Malik." Malik said. He gave Anzu a small shove backwards, which made her fall to the ground. He ran towards his Yami and punched him in the guts. "LET HER GO!"

"NEVER!" Yami Malik yelled.

Malik felt Anzu jump on him and start punching him and hauling on his hair. "AH!" he yelled swinging around, sending Anzu off his back and into a brick wall.

"OH!" Anzu groaned, Yami Malik had let her go before she hit the wall.

Malik looked at his Yami hatefully. "Your going...and your never coming back."

"What are you going to do?" Yami Malik asked with a smirk.

"This..." Malik held out the Mill. Rod.

"Don't you dare!" Yami Malik yelled.

"Oh...I dare..." Malik said. "AHHHH!" he smashed the rod over the sidewalk.

A bright golden glow came from it, and it started to swallow up Yami Malik.

"You fool!" Yami Malik yelled. "What have you done?!"

"I've set Anzu and I free." Malik said watching his Yami disappear.

Yami Malik gave his light a hateful stare and then vanished along with the light...he was gone...for good? Malik didn't care. He just knew that at that moment he could feel his body and soul be set free.

"Anzu." Malik ran over to her and knelt by her, taking her in his arms.

Rain pounded down on them still, and blood still flowed from her knees.

"She's still alive..." he said watching the blood. "The dead don't bleed...Anzu! Anzu open your eyes... please."

No response.

"Anzu!" Malik yelled. He watched as the steady flow of blood from Anzu's knees stopped, and her head shifted to one side.

"No..." Malik gasped. "No...please...Anzu." he felt her wrist for a pulse..there was nothing there.

"I...I killed her..." Malik said, his eyes watering up. "NO!!!!" he kissed her cheek and buried his face in her hair.



Tea watched from above. "I knew that this was going to happen." she said. "It was meant to." she sighed and watched them. "But I can't let this go one like this...destiny or not...I don't want to see Malik's life be torn apart in this life like it was thousands of years before."

Tea blinked and waved her hand at them, then disappeared.



Malik felt Anzu move a little. He quickly raised his head and looked at her. "Anzu?"

"Hmm?" Anzu's eyes opened and looked at Malik. "Malik? Your crying...what, AH!" a shot of pain went through Anzu's back.

"I'm so sorry, Anzu." Malik said. "I wish I had told you the truth in the first place."

"No...I'm sorry." Anzu said. "I can't believe your even here after what I said to you."

"I deserved it..."

"Malik..."

"Yes...?"

"I love you."

Malik's eyes widened. "Anzu...I..."

"I understand..." Anzu said looking away from him.

"No...no, Anzu." Malik said making her look at him again. "Its just that...I love you too..."

Anzu closed her eyes and kissed him soundly on the lips. Malik returned it.



Tea still watched them. "I have did a dreadful thing." she said. "I have changed their destiny...what will this do to them in the future?"

The End*
