Chapter 8~So close, so very, very close.
Bakura walked for a very long time. He was going to a place only he and Malik dared to enter. It was a secret area that he had found while exploring deeper into the city of Crime. Many thieves heard stories about the secret area, but Bakura did not buy into any if it. Since he didn't believe any of the stories, he convinced Malik to go with him to the place everyone feared. When they traveled there they hesitant to go in, it was actually like a cave and when they finally went in, they were surprised to see what they saw. Inside the cave was a beautiful place, there was a waterfall right in the middle, pouring into the shining lake at the bottom, trees surrounding the area, flowers were everywhere, and the sky could not be seen, but only a bit of light would shine into the place by a small hole at the top of the cave. It was like an enchanted forest almost, but it was in a cave, which was kind of odd. Bakura knew that this place would be a perfect place to bring Anzu. He smiled a little and he soon arrived at the magical cave. It would be the best place to tell her.
Bakura went in and observed the area, the forest shone brilliantly and every time he went in there he would always feel relaxed and all his troubles would just vanish. He knew that if he felt this way in this place it would be easy to tell Anzu how he felt. He would tell her and hopefully she will feel the same. That was al he hoped, because he knew that she was different from any other person he has ever met and he really wanted to be with her…always. He only hoped she felt the same way, he hoped it would all be the way he wanted it. That's all he could do, hope.
"Well everything seems to be okay in here, I must as well go visit Anzu and ask her to come. Hopefully she won't be busy," Bakura said to himself and soon began to walk back. He would probably get to her house before dusk, and by then she probably would be at home. He hoped that the pharaoh wasn't there, or else there would be a lot of problems. He still wanted to get back at that stupid pharaoh for stabbing him and almost killing him. He couldn't believe that he was asleep for five days because of that pharaoh, he underestimated him. It has been two days since he woke up and during these two days he wanted to kill the pharaoh and tell Anzu how he felt. Well, he knew he could do one; kill the pharaoh should be simple. He chuckled at the thought, "No first I must tell Anzu, then when it is done I'll plan for the pharaoh's demise."
He quickly got out of the cave and went to prepare himself for the walk to Anzu's house. He would tell her today or tomorrow, whichever the day he knows he will be ready. He sighed, feeling nervous at how he would tell her. He wondered if he should say the words straight out or tell her differently. He sighed again; he couldn't believe that a female was making him feel this way, especially when he thought love was weak. How in the world did he ever fall for her, and when was it? He sighed once again and thought it would be best to leave the topic alone, however he feels is how he feels, he shouldn't question it. He just hoped that she felt the same way; he would be crushed if she didn't. One more time, he sighed, and kept walking.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Anzu was at the temple talking with Seto. It has been two days ago since Bakura woke up and she had seen him. She wanted to be with him, to make sure he was alright, but she knew she couldn't do that. Her mind wondered off and Seto noticed this, she has been doing a lot of that lately. He knew what she was thinking but he wouldn't ask her about it. Seto knew that she has fallen for the white haired thief and wants to be with him any time she can. He and Malik actually know, and they have been planning to get the two together, but the thing is, they believe the two will get together on their own. They were going to wait and see what happens and if they don't express their feelings within an amount of time, he and Malik would have to take the situation into their own hands. But Seto knew they wouldn't need to.
He looked at her and saw that she was still in her own world, he smiled at her. He never saw her like this, so happy and so giddy. She would smile when she was thinking, and one could see she was really happy. There were times when she would start to giggle uncontrollably, a sure sign that she was in love. He wondered why she hasn't said anything about it, though, was she too shy? Well, that shouldn't be a concern, in time she will say something.
"Anzu?" Seto had to take her out of her thoughts due to the fact that he had to go somewhere. She didn't say anything, so this time he said it a little louder, "Anzu!"
Anzu finally heard him and shook her head to clear her head of all thoughts and then turned to look at Seto. She looked confused of where she was then remembered, "Oh Seto, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."
"Yeah I know, it's okay. I just wanted to tell you that I have to go somewhere right now," Seto told her and she understood.
"Oh alright, I better get home too, the sun is almost going down. Wow I have been here for a long time," she smiled and kissed Seto on the cheek and walked away. He smiled too; he hoped she got home safely. About a few moments later he walked away to go to the place he was suppose to go to.
Anzu walked slowly home. She was thinking about Bakura again, which was becoming a habit for her. She knew why he was always in her mind, she couldn't deny it, she loved Bakura and she only wishes that he felt the same way. She didn't know how it happened or why he was the one she fell for. There were so many guys in Egypt, but the thief had caught her attention. She wondered if it would ever work between the two, a thief and an average girl. She hoped he felt the same way, but should she even bother to tell him? 'What if he didn't feel at all the same way? I don't want to ruin anything between us,' she thought as she her house was in sight. She walked a bit faster and arrived home safely. She went inside and went directly to the kitchen; she was hungry so food was now in her mind. She thought of what to make and decided to cook some meat.
As she was preparing everything, her mind wondered back to, you guessed it, Bakura. How is it that she can't her thoughts away from him, she thought as she cut the meat to little pieces. Whatever it was she didn't mind, she liked to think about the cute guy, so really there was no problem.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bakura could s Anzu's house, he had been walking for a very long time and guess what he was thinking about, or rather, who. You guessed it, Anzu. He had the same habit like Anzu, except he thought about her. He thought the only way to get her out if his head would be to tell her how he felt and he would soon do it. Once at her house, he entered form the window and when he was inside he went into the kitchen. She wasn't here he realized. 'Must be visiting Seto,' he thought as he walked back to the bedroom. He would wait for her return and then ask her if she would like to come with him to his special little area. He only hoped she would say yes.
After what seemed like an eternity, he finally heard her come. He snuck out the room to see of she was alone, to his luck she was. She was in the kitchen and saw that she was preparing food. At that moment he heard his stomach growl, he knew he was hungry; it had been awhile since he last ate. He began walking to where she was and saw that she wasn't deep in thought. He smirked, 'she really shouldn't do that, who knows who would ever creep up on her. Like me for example.' Bakura slowly crept behind her and she still had no clue about it. Once he was right behind her, he grabbed her, making Anzu shriek. He laughed at her then he loosened his grip.
"It's okay, it's only me," he assured her. She was tense, but hearing his voice, she calmed down and turned around to face him. She was relieved it was him.
"Don't do that! You scared me!" she told him, but she smiled, happy to see him.
"That's was the point," he said copying her smile. She punched him softly on the arm and hugged him.
"I'm so glad to see you. I haven't seen you in two days; I was beginning to get worried. What have you been up to?" She asked.
"Planning things," he said simply as, he got away from her grasp and sat down on a chair.
"Don't tell me you're going to go steal something. You still need to heal a bit more," she said, hoping he wouldn't do so.
"No, I was planning something else and it involves you," he said, knowing it would be the best time to ask.
"Oh really, what is it?" she asked curiously.
"Well, I was planning on asking you something," Bakura told her and Anzu looked at him awaiting the question. "I was wondering if you would like to come with me to my home, but there is some place I wanted to take you."
Anzu looked at him and knew she would gladly want to go; after all, she never went to his house. "Sure, I would love to. We could almost call it a date."
"If you want to," Bakura said pleased with the answer. He smiled at her and she smiled back. "Will tomorrow be alright to go?"
"Yes, that would be okay,"
"Then I will pick you up tomorrow before sundown," He said and she nodded yes.
"Ok then it's settled," she said, "Anyway, do you want something to eat?"
"Sure," with that said, she went to finish what she started and soon served Bakura.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day soon arrived and Anzu was sitting patiently on her bed. It was almost sundown, but Bakura has yet to arrive. She knew he would be here; she just had to wait a little longer. She really couldn't wait to go, she told Seto all about it, and he was happy for her. She looked out the window from where she was sitting and she only wished that she could here Bakura call her name. She wanted to see this place that he talked about yesterday. Bakura didn't say much about it, but told her that she could swim if she liked. So, she had a towel and extra clothing if she decided to go swimming. Actually she did want to swim and couldn't wait to go. She had asked Bakura what the area was called, he told her that where he lived was called Crime, and she promised she would never tell a soul about it and then he told her that the 'special area' didn't have a name. She would have to come up with one when she saw it.
Moment later, she was still waiting in her room. The sun was almost setting, and she wondered what was keeping him. She waiting a little longer, then she heard him. Her heart jumped with joy and she ran to her window. Below she could see Bakura and she smiled.
"What took you so long?" She asked.
"Sorry about that, Malik was bothering and he wouldn't let me go until I told where I was off to," he answered as Anzu threw her belonging at him and he caught it. She then climb down, but she slipped and Bakura was able to catch her. He held on tight, scared that if he let go he would loose her. She faced him and saw that he was worried of what could have happened, she smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Thanks," she said as she got out of his grasp. She didn't know whether he as blushing because of the dark, but she could have sworn she saw a shade of red.
"No problem. Well, we should be going," Bakura said as he held out his arm for her to grab.
"You're right, let's go," Anzu said as she grabbed on to his arm and then the two began to walk. They walked silently for a while, but they soon began to talk and laugh about anything that came to mind. One could almost mistake them of being a couple.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After what seemed like a short walk, Anzu and Bakura finally arrived at the city of Crime, where all criminals lived in harmony…well not really, they just lived there since they had no where else to go. Before entering Bakura told Anzu to stay with him at all times, to not look at anyone else, and if they got separated, she should ignore everyone at all times. He was worried what might happen if they were separated, but he would try to find her before anything happens. Anzu nodded at Bakura understanding everything, and when they were at the entrance she met Lume, who Bakura seemed to dislike. When they got through, she couldn't believe what she saw. The city of crime was not what she expected, it was…beautiful. Everywhere you look you could see silver, gold shining. Crystals sparkled by the light of the moon and people didn't look like she thought they would. All of them were dressed nicely and wore jewelry, almost like Malik did.
"You look surprised. What is it?" Bakura asked her, she shook out of her trance and looked at Bakura.
"Everything looks so beautiful here," she told him as she observed the place even more.
"What did you expect? We thieves steal anything that is priceless, that is worth something. We either sell it or decorate our home. We like to see how great our city is," Bakura explained as grabbed he hand and led her down a path.
"Where are we going?" Anzu asked, looking at everything they passed by.
"My house, then we're going to that area I told you about," he answered as he led her to his home.
It didn't take long before they arrived. Once there Bakura gave Anzu a tour of the house, which wasn't much but everything in it was beautiful, that is until she got to his room. It was messy, but it was okay. She he knew Bakura only used it to sleep, so it didn't really matter. After the tour, Bakura led Anzu to the living room, where they both sat and talked a bit more. After a while, Anzu was ready to go where Bakura wanted to take her. He agreed and they were soon off to the cave.
Soon after, they were there, and Bakura told Anzu to close he eyes before she entered, and she did so. He held on to her hands and guided her in, slowly. He soon stopped and let go of her hands. He went behind her and told her to open her eyes. As she opened them and everything was revealed, she gasped with total enchantment. Everything was so beautiful, so amazing. She smiled at what she saw and wondered if this place was actually real. It seemed to good to be true.
"Oh, Bakura, it's beautiful!" she said as she walked around observing everything and touching what she liked. Bakura smiled at how much she liked it and how much she was enjoying herself.
"I'm glad you like this place. You can come here anytime you want if you like," Anzu looked at him with the happiest eyes, ran to him, and hugged him. He blushed the second time that day, and this time she was able to see t. She giggled and ran off to observe more things. After looking around she decided to swim. She even had to force Bakura to get into the water, she actually pushed him in. But she regretted it when he began to splash water at her. Soon it became a war and the two were enjoying themselves. The fun soon ended, though, when they got out of the water. But the talked more and got to know more about each other.
They sat at the edge of the lake, and had their feet in the water. Anzu and Bakura were actually sitting very close to each other and Anzu had her head on Bakura's shoulder. When they had nothing to talk about anymore they stayed silent but they enjoyed each others company. As Anzu's head lay on his shoulder, she looked around the area even more and saw something she hadn't noticed. All the flowers that were in this place were blooming, quite odd since there was no sun but she didn't care that much. As she kept looking at the flowers there was a rose which wasn't blooming she wondered why.
"Hey, Bakura, why isn't that rose blooming?" she asked as she got up and went to observe it even closer.
"Oh that, it never blooms, I really don't know why, but as long as I have been here it never bloomed," he explained as he went beside her.
"Poor thing, it must feel left out."
"I'm sure it'll bloom some day," he assured her.
"I think it will, but something tells me I won't be able to see it," she said not knowing why she thought that way. Bakura just looked at her weirdly but shrugged it off. She smiled at him and went sit back at hr previous place. "You know, I thought of a name for this place," she began, as he went to sit back beside her, "I thought Hikari would be a nice name."
"Hikari? Sounds good, Hikari it is," Bakura said, and Anzu stayed quiet, but he knew she was probably smiling. Then after a while of silence he remembered the reason he wanted to bring her here. He wanted to tell her how he felt, and right now it was the perfect time. He cleared his throat and bean to talk, "Anzu?"
"Hmm?" she said simply.
'There's something I need to tell you," he began, "I…I…I lo…" he was cut off by a noise that came form behind them. The two quickly spun around and couldn't believe who the saw. It was Malik, and by the looks of it he fell from a high place. He got up and dusted himself off and smiled innocently at the two. He was spying on them and they knew it. Anzu giggled a little, but Bakura seemed very, very angry.
"Well, hello there. I didn't you guys were here," he lied as he looked on nervously. Anzu just giggled a bit more then stood up.
"Well, I better get back home," Anzu said as she walked off.
"Wait, Anzu, I should walk you back," he said, knowing that it would be best since it was dark and criminals were just outside.
"No it's okay, really. I'll be fine. I don't want to be a bother. I'll see you tomorrow?" he nodded and without another she left, but said goodnight to Malik before leaving. Malik also said goodnight and when she was no longer in sight, he turned around to see a very, very, very angry Bakura. If looks could kill he probably would be dead five times before he hit the ground. He smiled nervously again and walked backwards slowly, wishing he could get out. But luck was not at his side and Bakura charged at him and he ran as fast as he could.
"Come back here you little bastard!!!! I'm going to kill you," Bakura shouted as he chased Malik. He had a chance to tell her, but noooo, Malik had to ruin it for him. He was so close, so very, very close!
*Haha, Malik. He can ruin a lot of things. I wonder if he will survive Bakura's wrath. By the looks of it, probably not. Anyway, hoped you like this chapter, I know it took me long, but at least I typed it. And don't worry, the two will get together soon, and I mean soon! Well I have nothing more to say, chao.
Anywayz, I will like to thank everyone again for reviewing, you guys are so great! Well, enough of this, on with the story! Read and Enjoy!!

Chapter 8~So close, so very, very close.
Bakura walked for a very long time. He was going to a place only he and Malik dared to enter. It was a secret area that he had found while exploring deeper into the city of Crime. Many thieves heard stories about the secret area, but Bakura did not buy into any if it. Since he didn't believe any of the stories, he convinced Malik to go with him to the place everyone feared. When they traveled there they hesitant to go in, it was actually like a cave and when they finally went in, they were surprised to see what they saw. Inside the cave was a beautiful place, there was a waterfall right in the middle, pouring into the shining lake at the bottom, trees surrounding the area, flowers were everywhere, and the sky could not be seen, but only a bit of light would shine into the place by a small hole at the top of the cave. It was like an enchanted forest almost, but it was in a cave, which was kind of odd. Bakura knew that this place would be a perfect place to bring Anzu. He smiled a little and he soon arrived at the magical cave. It would be the best place to tell her.
Bakura went in and observed the area, the forest shone brilliantly and every time he went in there he would always feel relaxed and all his troubles would just vanish. He knew that if he felt this way in this place it would be easy to tell Anzu how he felt. He would tell her and hopefully she will feel the same. That was al he hoped, because he knew that she was different from any other person he has ever met and he really wanted to be with her…always. He only hoped she felt the same way, he hoped it would all be the way he wanted it. That's all he could do, hope.
"Well everything seems to be okay in here, I must as well go visit Anzu and ask her to come. Hopefully she won't be busy," Bakura said to himself and soon began to walk back. He would probably get to her house before dusk, and by then she probably would be at home. He hoped that the pharaoh wasn't there, or else there would be a lot of problems. He still wanted to get back at that stupid pharaoh for stabbing him and almost killing him. He couldn't believe that he was asleep for five days because of that pharaoh, he underestimated him. It has been two days since he woke up and during these two days he wanted to kill the pharaoh and tell Anzu how he felt. Well, he knew he could do one; kill the pharaoh should be simple. He chuckled at the thought, "No first I must tell Anzu, then when it is done I'll plan for the pharaoh's demise."
He quickly got out of the cave and went to prepare himself for the walk to Anzu's house. He would tell her today or tomorrow, whichever the day he knows he will be ready. He sighed, feeling nervous at how he would tell her. He wondered if he should say the words straight out or tell her differently. He sighed again; he couldn't believe that a female was making him feel this way, especially when he thought love was weak. How in the world did he ever fall for her, and when was it? He sighed once again and thought it would be best to leave the topic alone, however he feels is how he feels, he shouldn't question it. He just hoped that she felt the same way; he would be crushed if she didn't. One more time, he sighed, and kept walking.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Anzu was at the temple talking with Seto. It has been two days ago since Bakura woke up and she had seen him. She wanted to be with him, to make sure he was alright, but she knew she couldn't do that. Her mind wondered off and Seto noticed this, she has been doing a lot of that lately. He knew what she was thinking but he wouldn't ask her about it. Seto knew that she has fallen for the white haired thief and wants to be with him any time she can. He and Malik actually know, and they have been planning to get the two together, but the thing is, they believe the two will get together on their own. They were going to wait and see what happens and if they don't express their feelings within an amount of time, he and Malik would have to take the situation into their own hands. But Seto knew they wouldn't need to.
He looked at her and saw that she was still in her own world, he smiled at her. He never saw her like this, so happy and so giddy. She would smile when she was thinking, and one could see she was really happy. There were times when she would start to giggle uncontrollably, a sure sign that she was in love. He wondered why she hasn't said anything about it, though, was she too shy? Well, that shouldn't be a concern, in time she will say something.
"Anzu?" Seto had to take her out of her thoughts due to the fact that he had to go somewhere. She didn't say anything, so this time he said it a little louder, "Anzu!"
Anzu finally heard him and shook her head to clear her head of all thoughts and then turned to look at Seto. She looked confused of where she was then remembered, "Oh Seto, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."
"Yeah I know, it's okay. I just wanted to tell you that I have to go somewhere right now," Seto told her and she understood.
"Oh alright, I better get home too, the sun is almost going down. Wow I have been here for a long time," she smiled and kissed Seto on the cheek and walked away. He smiled too; he hoped she got home safely. About a few moments later he walked away to go to the place he was suppose to go to.
Anzu walked slowly home. She was thinking about Bakura again, which was becoming a habit for her. She knew why he was always in her mind, she couldn't deny it, she loved Bakura and she only wishes that he felt the same way. She didn't know how it happened or why he was the one she fell for. There were so many guys in Egypt, but the thief had caught her attention. She wondered if it would ever work between the two, a thief and an average girl. She hoped he felt the same way, but should she even bother to tell him? 'What if he didn't feel at all the same way? I don't want to ruin anything between us,' she thought as she her house was in sight. She walked a bit faster and arrived home safely. She went inside and went directly to the kitchen; she was hungry so food was now in her mind. She thought of what to make and decided to cook some meat.
As she was preparing everything, her mind wondered back to, you guessed it, Bakura. How is it that she can't her thoughts away from him, she thought as she cut the meat to little pieces. Whatever it was she didn't mind, she liked to think about the cute guy, so really there was no problem.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bakura could s Anzu's house, he had been walking for a very long time and guess what he was thinking about, or rather, who. You guessed it, Anzu. He had the same habit like Anzu, except he thought about her. He thought the only way to get her out if his head would be to tell her how he felt and he would soon do it. Once at her house, he entered form the window and when he was inside he went into the kitchen. She wasn't here he realized. 'Must be visiting Seto,' he thought as he walked back to the bedroom. He would wait for her return and then ask her if she would like to come with him to his special little area. He only hoped she would say yes.
After what seemed like an eternity, he finally heard her come. He snuck out the room to see of she was alone, to his luck she was. She was in the kitchen and saw that she was preparing food. At that moment he heard his stomach growl, he knew he was hungry; it had been awhile since he last ate. He began walking to where she was and saw that she wasn't deep in thought. He smirked, 'she really shouldn't do that, who knows who would ever creep up on her. Like me for example.' Bakura slowly crept behind her and she still had no clue about it. Once he was right behind her, he grabbed her, making Anzu shriek. He laughed at her then he loosened his grip.
"It's okay, it's only me," he assured her. She was tense, but hearing his voice, she calmed down and turned around to face him. She was relieved it was him.
"Don't do that! You scared me!" she told him, but she smiled, happy to see him.
"That's was the point," he said copying her smile. She punched him softly on the arm and hugged him.
"I'm so glad to see you. I haven't seen you in two days; I was beginning to get worried. What have you been up to?" She asked.
"Planning things," he said simply as, he got away from her grasp and sat down on a chair.
"Don't tell me you're going to go steal something. You still need to heal a bit more," she said, hoping he wouldn't do so.
"No, I was planning something else and it involves you," he said, knowing it would be the best time to ask.
"Oh really, what is it?" she asked curiously.
"Well, I was planning on asking you something," Bakura told her and Anzu looked at him awaiting the question. "I was wondering if you would like to come with me to my home, but there is some place I wanted to take you."
Anzu looked at him and knew she would gladly want to go; after all, she never went to his house. "Sure, I would love to. We could almost call it a date."
"If you want to," Bakura said pleased with the answer. He smiled at her and she smiled back. "Will tomorrow be alright to go?"
"Yes, that would be okay,"
"Then I will pick you up tomorrow before sundown," He said and she nodded yes.
"Ok then it's settled," she said, "Anyway, do you want something to eat?"
"Sure," with that said, she went to finish what she started and soon served Bakura.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day soon arrived and Anzu was sitting patiently on her bed. It was almost sundown, but Bakura has yet to arrive. She knew he would be here; she just had to wait a little longer. She really couldn't wait to go, she told Seto all about it, and he was happy for her. She looked out the window from where she was sitting and she only wished that she could here Bakura call her name. She wanted to see this place that he talked about yesterday. Bakura didn't say much about it, but told her that she could swim if she liked. So, she had a towel and extra clothing if she decided to go swimming. Actually she did want to swim and couldn't wait to go. She had asked Bakura what the area was called, he told her that where he lived was called Crime, and she promised she would never tell a soul about it and then he told her that the 'special area' didn't have a name. She would have to come up with one when she saw it.
Moment later, she was still waiting in her room. The sun was almost setting, and she wondered what was keeping him. She waiting a little longer, then she heard him. Her heart jumped with joy and she ran to her window. Below she could see Bakura and she smiled.
"What took you so long?" She asked.
"Sorry about that, Malik was bothering and he wouldn't let me go until I told where I was off to," he answered as Anzu threw her belonging at him and he caught it. She then climb down, but she slipped and Bakura was able to catch her. He held on tight, scared that if he let go he would loose her. She faced him and saw that he was worried of what could have happened, she smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Thanks," she said as she got out of his grasp. She didn't know whether he as blushing because of the dark, but she could have sworn she saw a shade of red.
"No problem. Well, we should be going," Bakura said as he held out his arm for her to grab.
"You're right, let's go," Anzu said as she grabbed on to his arm and then the two began to walk. They walked silently for a while, but they soon began to talk and laugh about anything that came to mind. One could almost mistake them of being a couple.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After what seemed like a short walk, Anzu and Bakura finally arrived at the city of Crime, where all criminals lived in harmony…well not really, they just lived there since they had no where else to go. Before entering Bakura told Anzu to stay with him at all times, to not look at anyone else, and if they got separated, she should ignore everyone at all times. He was worried what might happen if they were separated, but he would try to find her before anything happens. Anzu nodded at Bakura understanding everything, and when they were at the entrance she met Lume, who Bakura seemed to dislike. When they got through, she couldn't believe what she saw. The city of crime was not what she expected, it was…beautiful. Everywhere you look you could see silver, gold shining. Crystals sparkled by the light of the moon and people didn't look like she thought they would. All of them were dressed nicely and wore jewelry, almost like Malik did.
"You look surprised. What is it?" Bakura asked her, she shook out of her trance and looked at Bakura.
"Everything looks so beautiful here," she told him as she observed the place even more.
"What did you expect? We thieves steal anything that is priceless, that is worth something. We either sell it or decorate our home. We like to see how great our city is," Bakura explained as grabbed he hand and led her down a path.
"Where are we going?" Anzu asked, looking at everything they passed by.
"My house, then we're going to that area I told you about," he answered as he led her to his home.
It didn't take long before they arrived. Once there Bakura gave Anzu a tour of the house, which wasn't much but everything in it was beautiful, that is until she got to his room. It was messy, but it was okay. She he knew Bakura only used it to sleep, so it didn't really matter. After the tour, Bakura led Anzu to the living room, where they both sat and talked a bit more. After a while, Anzu was ready to go where Bakura wanted to take her. He agreed and they were soon off to the cave.
Soon after, they were there, and Bakura told Anzu to close he eyes before she entered, and she did so. He held on to her hands and guided her in, slowly. He soon stopped and let go of her hands. He went behind her and told her to open her eyes. As she opened them and everything was revealed, she gasped with total enchantment. Everything was so beautiful, so amazing. She smiled at what she saw and wondered if this place was actually real. It seemed to good to be true.
"Oh, Bakura, it's beautiful!" she said as she walked around observing everything and touching what she liked. Bakura smiled at how much she liked it and how much she was enjoying herself.
"I'm glad you like this place. You can come here anytime you want if you like," Anzu looked at him with the happiest eyes, ran to him, and hugged him. He blushed the second time that day, and this time she was able to see t. She giggled and ran off to observe more things. After looking around she decided to swim. She even had to force Bakura to get into the water, she actually pushed him in. But she regretted it when he began to splash water at her. Soon it became a war and the two were enjoying themselves. The fun soon ended, though, when they got out of the water. But the talked more and got to know more about each other.
They sat at the edge of the lake, and had their feet in the water. Anzu and Bakura were actually sitting very close to each other and Anzu had her head on Bakura's shoulder. When they had nothing to talk about anymore they stayed silent but they enjoyed each others company. As Anzu's head lay on his shoulder, she looked around the area even more and saw something she hadn't noticed. All the flowers that were in this place were blooming, quite odd since there was no sun but she didn't care that much. As she kept looking at the flowers there was a rose which wasn't blooming she wondered why.
"Hey, Bakura, why isn't that rose blooming?" she asked as she got up and went to observe it even closer.
"Oh that, it never blooms, I really don't know why, but as long as I have been here it never bloomed," he explained as he went beside her.
"Poor thing, it must feel left out."
"I'm sure it'll bloom some day," he assured her.
"I think it will, but something tells me I won't be able to see it," she said not knowing why she thought that way. Bakura just looked at her weirdly but shrugged it off. She smiled at him and went sit back at hr previous place. "You know, I thought of a name for this place," she began, as he went to sit back beside her, "I thought Hikari would be a nice name."
"Hikari? Sounds good, Hikari it is," Bakura said, and Anzu stayed quiet, but he knew she was probably smiling. Then after a while of silence he remembered the reason he wanted to bring her here. He wanted to tell her how he felt, and right now it was the perfect time. He cleared his throat and bean to talk, "Anzu?"
"Hmm?" she said simply.
'There's something I need to tell you," he began, "I…I…I lo…" he was cut off by a noise that came form behind them. The two quickly spun around and couldn't believe who the saw. It was Malik, and by the looks of it he fell from a high place. He got up and dusted himself off and smiled innocently at the two. He was spying on them and they knew it. Anzu giggled a little, but Bakura seemed very, very angry.
"Well, hello there. I didn't you guys were here," he lied as he looked on nervously. Anzu just giggled a bit more then stood up.
"Well, I better get back home," Anzu said as she walked off.
"Wait, Anzu, I should walk you back," he said, knowing that it would be best since it was dark and criminals were just outside.
"No it's okay, really. I'll be fine. I don't want to be a bother. I'll see you tomorrow?" he nodded and without another she left, but said goodnight to Malik before leaving. Malik also said goodnight and when she was no longer in sight, he turned around to see a very, very, very angry Bakura. If looks could kill he probably would be dead five times before he hit the ground. He smiled nervously again and walked backwards slowly, wishing he could get out. But luck was not at his side and Bakura charged at him and he ran as fast as he could.
"Come back here you little bastard!!!! I'm going to kill you," Bakura shouted as he chased Malik. He had a chance to tell her, but noooo, Malik had to ruin it for him. He was so close, so very, very close!
*Haha, Malik. He can ruin a lot of things. I wonder if he will survive Bakura's wrath. By the looks of it, probably not. Anyway, hoped you like this chapter, I know it took me long, but at least I typed it. And don't worry, the two will get together soon, and I mean soon! Well I have nothing more to say, chao.
