Anzu floated on her back and looked up at the stars. For the amount of people that was at the wharfs edge, the water was as peaceful as the night sky was. She guessed that was because Jou and Honda wasn't in the water yet.

"Having fun?" Kamie asked swimming up to Anzu.

"Yeah..." Anzu said with a small sigh.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Anzu turned her head to look over at her friend. "Where's Jou and Honda?"

"Getting ready." Kamie said with a slight twitch.

"For what? All they have to do is jump in the water." Anzu said rolling her eyes.

"Yeah..." Kamie said with a small smile.

The two girls looked over at Honda and Jou joined the crew in the water.

"Ooooh....coooooold..." Jou whined.

"SHRINKAGE!!!" Kamie yelled.

"Oh your dead!" Jou yelled swimming at her.

"See ya, Anzu...I'm under attack." Kamie said swimming out further.

Anzu laughed and swam back to the wharf and grabbed in to the ladder attached to it.

"Give up before you even started?" Malik asked swimming up to her.

"No." Anzu said. "I just don't feel right in salt water."

"Aw, come on." Malik took her hands and lead her out further into the water. "See? Just like pond water...only...it tastes gross..."

Anzu laughed. "You took the liberty of seeing what salt water tastes like?" she sweat-dropped.

"Hey, I dived in with my mouth open." Malik said with a shrug. "OH! OK the water just got VERY deep." he hauled Anzu up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. "Ah, there."

Anzu smiled and kissed him. "You can swim with me attached to you like this?" she asked.

"Of course." Malik said swimming backwards.

//Miss me?//

"What the?" Malik grabbed Anzu and looked around to the sound of his Yami's voice.

//I said...did you MISS me? Mwahaha.//

"Malik? What's wrong?" Anzu asked wrapping her arms around him.

"Shh..." Malik hushed her softly and looked around again.

/Where are you?/ Malik asked mentally.

//I'm back, back in your head.// Yami Malik said evilly.

/But..I../

//You destroyed me? No. Well, yes. But I needed to come back. You see. The god of death wants Anzu, so I was summoned to bring her to him.//

/No.../ Malik's grip around Anzu tightened as his Yami spoke.

//Yes, and my first plan is underway.// Yami Malik said.

/What are planning on doing?/

//I have more powers than before...so I can do anything...but...this part consists of mind control over something...// Yami Malik said.

/Yami Malik./ Malik's eyes narrowed and he began to swim Anzu back to the wharf.

"Malik, what's going on?" Anzu asked, getting scared of the determined look in her loves face, it had been along time since she had seen that look. "Malik answer me."

Malik looked in Anzu's eyes, he couldn't lie to her, he had already done enough of that when they had first met. "Anzu...I don't really know how to say this..."

"...what?"

"Yami Malik...is back." Malik whispered, seeing the terror developing in Anzu's eyes. "And...he's after...you."

Malik got Anzu to hold on to the ladder attached to the wharf. "I don't know what he's planning... but for the rest of the night when we are here, we will be sticking to the wharf."

Anzu nodded, her knuckles white from the hard grip she had around the ladders steps.

~~Tea watched them from the top of the wharf, she was now invisible to them, but just for the time being. 'Well, they know.' she thought. 'I guess its time Anzu knew that I had returned as well...also I must explain to her what is actually going on.'

Tea appeared.~~

*

"I'm going to go back out and tell Yami and the others." Malik said. He swam off. "Stay there Anzu! Don't move!"

Anzu hauled herself up on the ladder and looked up into Tea's face. "You." she said as Tea took off her baseball hat. "Your...your back..."

"Yes." Tea answered sitting down in front of Anzu.

"Tea what's going on? Why is Yami Malik back for me?" Anzu asked, knowing that her past self knew the answer.

"You remember, when your and Malik destroyed Yami Malik, right?" Tea asked as Anzu nodded. "Well, that night...you were meant to die. But I helped you live, and that messed up the cycle that had been underway for over thousands of years."

"What do you mean?" Anzu asked.

"I mean that in every lifetime you and Malik die, because you aren't meant for each other on this earth." Tea said, the words hurt her. "That's how I died, I was killed, and shortly after Malik died of heart break. The god of death wants you dead. Anzu you was meant to die back when Yami Malik was destroyed. But I saved you. That's why Yami Malik is back, because your wanted dead by the god of death."

"This...can't be." Anzu said, her eyes trembling.

"It is..." Tea said touching Anzu's hand. "I'm sorry..."
