*Well, people the new chapter is finally up. Yay!! But I must sadly inform you that it may be a very long time until I update again. My internet connection will be gone on the 21 of May. I had some reviews suggesting ways that I can update, but the thing is my school sucks. The computers have blocked out Fanfiction.net. So school cannot help. Now I would use the library, but the thing is I don't have a floppy disc, meaning I can't update in the library. I know this all sucks, but don't worry; I will find a way to update again. Also I doubt I could even update if I still had the internet, school is a bitch with all these projects giving to you at the very end of the semester. I have three in total, and they are going to take time to complete, I haven't even started! Anyways, I will find a way to update another time, so please be patient. Thank you.

Now there was one reviewer who wanted to know if I wrote that crappy poem. As you can tell since I said crappy, I did write it. I don't know why, I just did. Also this reviewer said she didn't like Tea. Okay I have a lot to say about people who really hate the girl, so brace yourself. I know in the English version of Yu-Gi-Oh people find Tea very annoying, but I don't she is. I think she is a great character in the English and Japanese version. It's true there is a difference between the two, but I like both. Anzu in the English version just cares a lot about her friends, I mean who doesn't. I know she gets carried a way sometimes, but doesn't Joey or Yugi also do that. I mean there are episodes where these two talk about how important their friendship is and how they will conquer all that crap with their friendship. People don't make fun of that, it's like they are only after poor Tea because they like Joey or Yugi or whoever is not Tea. Also what I hate is Tea bashing, OMG people, you hate a certain person and you write about them. Don't you have anything better to do than to write about your most hated character and torturing them? For some people it's funny, but sometimes people get too carried away. But I am not going to say they shouldn't write bashing stories, I mean people can write what they like, it is a fanfic, but I think it is just a waste of time and space. Don't get me wrong, I am not like Tea at all, I am actually a very evil person, why I like her is a mystery to me. Anyways I should stop talking about this, it's not like it'll make a difference. I am not saying people shouldn't hate her, it's your own opinion. I just don't like when people tell me, it annoys me. Oh well enough of me talking about this, I probably sound annoying.

*****Warning: This chapter contains scenes that may not be suitable for younger children, and believe me when I say that. It's not that bad, so I didn't raise the rating. But soon it will go up to R. Thank you!******

Read and Enjoy!!!

Chapter 9~Finally!

Night became day, signaling the new day has come for Anzu. Once she felt the sun touch her creamy coloured skin, she opened her eyes slowly and rose form her lying position to a sitting one. She stretched and yawned and soon rose from her bed. Anzu went into the kitchen to do what she usually did, make something to eat. As she prepared breakfast, memories of last night crept into her mind. She knew what Bakura was going to say to her. She just knew he was going to say it, say what she hoped for a long time now. He was so close, but Malik had to ruin everything. She sighed at that, why couldn't he just leave them alone? If Bakura was really going to say what she hoped he was going to say, she would have been a jolly little girl. But nooooo, Malik had to be spying on them. Anzu felt sorry for Bakura, though, he probably had to sum up a lot of courage if he was about to say those words. Then Anzu wondered, was he really going to say it, say those three words that can change someone's life.

"I love you," Anzu said, wondering how those words can be so strong. "I wish I could have said that, but I left before I could, before HE could. Poor Bakura, the way he looked at Malik was pure evil. He probably felt so embarrassed in a way. I wonder if Malik is still alive." She thought of what could have happened and sighed again. She wished she hadn't left, but she knew it was necessary, Bakura looked like he would kill, it was best to leave, so she did. Walking out of Crime though, was scary; all the crooks stared at her, as if she had something on her face. But she remembered Bakura telling her to ignore everyone, and she did. Actually she ignored everyone and ran out as quickly as possible; the stares were really freaking her out. After a while she got home safely and quickly fell asleep.

That was yesterday and hopefully there will come a time when feelings will be shared. She hoped it was soon. Anzu finished preparing her breakfast and began to eat quietly. She would see Bakura later for sure, probably during nightfall. So the best thing to do after her meal would be to visit Seto. She had to tell him everything that happened last night, for some reason he just wanted to know. When she told him that she was going to Bakura's home, he told her to tell him all that had happened. She agreed, so now he must be waiting for her. She chuckled, Seto can be impatient and knowing him he probably didn't get any sleep.

Her breakfast as almost done, but she had to stop eating when she heard a knock on the door. Raising a brow, she stood up and walked to the door. Opening it she saw a man smiling at her. "Good morning, madam, I have letter for you," he said smiling at he and handing the letter to her. She took it and while saying thank you and the man soon departed. She stared for a while and when he could no longer be seen, she went back to her food. She held the letter and looked at it for a moment and opened it. It was a letter from her mother. In it was written:

Dearest Anzu,

I must inform you that your father and I may take longer than expected to arrive back home. We found out from our relatives that there are more relatives than we had anticipated. It seems that many have children and their children have children as well. I could not believe that, how long has it been since I last saw our family? Am I that old? Well, your father and I want to visit them as well, they are family after all. So we believe it will take another year or two to arrive, making it a total of at least four years that we will be away. I miss you so much, but I have to see how our family, at least before I die, you know. I really shouldn't talk like that. Anyways, I love you and I want you to take good care of yourself. Your father misses you too, and you'll be in our thoughts. So until then, see you.

Love,

Mom

PS: Don't do anything foolish!

Anzu stared at the letter, she sighed. She really missed her parents and couldn't believe they wee going to take longer to come home. And what did her mom mean don't do anything foolish. She never did anything foolish…well, not always. She smiled at that and put the letter away. She thought now was the best time to go to visit Seto. Grabbing whatever she needed she left her home.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Taking her time to get to the temple, her mind thought of Bakura again, she knew this habit was going to be hard to break. She wondered what he was doing, what he was thinking about. 'Probably thinking about last night,' she thought. As she kept thinking she soon arrived at the temple. Climbing up the stairs, she looked around to see if Seto was outside. Without spotting anything, she knew he was inside and she quickly went in. Opening the doors she saw some of the other priests on their knees praying. She also saw some apprentices doing work and such. She looked around trying to spot Seto among the people. She couldn't see him anywhere.

"Are you looking for Seto, Anzu?" Anzu turned around to meet one of the priests. His name was Zylon, someone she knew when she was young. Actually he was the Seto's teacher, the one who taught him everything, and he was the one who appointed Seto as Head of all priests.

"Yes, sir Zylon. Is he here?" she asked and he nodded his head.

"He is in his dorm still sleeping. You should go and wake him up; he should have been awake an hour ago. But people sometimes fear his temper," Zylon said smiling.

"That's Seto, never wanting to be disturbed," she said as she bowed and walked away. As she walked to Seto's dorm, she said hello to anyone that passed by. When she at last arrived she knocked at his door softly, and when there was no response, she knocked again, but harder this time. Still no response she walked in and saw Seto sleeping so peacefully. He looked so cute and she couldn't help but giggle. It was too bad she had to wake him up, and the best way to wake someone is with water. She left the room and got a bucket full of water. Chuckling, she approached him quietly and when she was about two inches away, she dumped the water on his head. He immediately woke up and was shocked. Anzu just looked at him and laughed hysterically. When he got out of his shock he looked at Anzu with evil eyes.

"Anzu!!! You're going to pay for that!!!!" quickly he got out of bed and Anzu quickly began to run. She had to get away form him, for who knew what he would do. Seto chased her as he heard her laughing at him. He smiled a bit, and chuckled at the thought of what he would do to her when he caught her. "Anzu, come back here!"

"Not a chance," the two could be heard from the other priests and they knew that Seto was probably in a bad mood. Whoever he is chasing, their prayers are with the person. But unknown to them, Seto was actually just playing around.

Anzu quickly ran, she didn't even know where she was going. As she ran she turned a corner, but was shocked at what she saw. She had to stop hastily, for at the end was a wall. She had reached a dead end, "Why in the world would there be a dead end in the temple!?" she said as she heard Seto close behind. She spun around and knew she was trapped, and soon Seto arrived right in front of her. "Now, now, Seto, calm down," she said as he saw Seto smirking. She just looked at him innocently.

"Dear, dear Anzu, you know I am cranky when I wake up and dumping a bucket full of water on me can make it worse. Now what should I do with you," Seto said as he approached her. Anzu just laughed nervously.

"Oh come on Seto it was just a joke," she said and didn't like the look on his face.

"There is only one thing to do," he paused and Anzu waited patiently, "tickle attack!!!" Without a moment to react, Seto pinned Anzu down and began to tickle her. There was no mercy. Her laughter was loud and she couldn't bear it.

"Se…haha…to… haha…ok…that's… hahaha…enough," she struggled to say, having a hard time breathing.

"I don't know, I think you need to be tickled a bit more," Seto said as he continued is assault.

"Set…hahaha…Seto, please," Anzu couldn't take much more of the laughter.

"Alright, I think you had enough," he said as he stopped and stood up, "that'll teach you to mess with me."

"Well, sorry! I had to wake you up, so what else was there for me to do?" Anzu said as she stood up and smiled.

"Have you ever heard of shaking a person and yelling out their name," Seto told her.

"Where is the fun in that? I just wanted to see the reaction on your face, and my Ra, it was priceless," she said as she began to laugh again. She could hear Seto growl softly.

"Yeah, well, do it again and I'll make sure I tickle you longer," he said as he smiled at her. "Anyway, you have to tell me everything that happened last night."

"I thought you forgot. Oh well, I must as well since that's the reason I came," she said as she walked away, "by the way, why is there a dead end in this temple?" Seto laughed and told her as they walked to the main room. He told it was a secret area. She just left it at that. So the two began to talk and Anzu told Seto all that happened.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Pharaoh Yami sat in his throne room, being very bored. He had nothing to do and nothing seemed interesting to him. He let out a sigh and thought of things he could possibly do, nothing came into mind. He slowly stood up form his chair and paced around. What was there to do? Sighing once again he sat at one of the steps that would lead you up to his chair. He never felt so bored.

"Is something wrong, Yami?" Jou asked coming into the room.

"Yes, I'm very bored and there is nothing to do," he told his friend.

"I see, well you could always go and visit the people. You know, see how they're doing…or…you could go visit Anzu," he said giving the pharaoh suggestions.

"Hmm, the one with Anzu doesn't seem like a bad idea. Actually I think I'll invite her here," Yami said, "San, come here." A man came when he was called; he was the pharaoh personal messenger.

"Ye…yes sir?" San said as he waited for his task.

"Search for Anzu, I want you to tell her that I request her presence here. She should be at the temple right now, I believe, if not then go to her house, understood," San nodded and quickly left, for he feared of what the pharaoh could do to him if his demand was not met.

"So, Yami," Jou began, trying to make conversation, "how are you and Anzu working out."

"She plays hard to get, but no matter what, she will be my bride. It does not matter what she says, she cannot prevent the inevitable," Yami said so sure of what would come.

"You really love her don't you?" Jou asked and Yami nodded.

"Yes, ever since I met her, I knew I fell for her. We may have been children when we met, but as time went on, my love for her grew, and I just have to have her as my bride."

"Even if you have to force her to marry you?" Jou asked, curious about the answer.

"I don't think I will have to worry about that. She will eventually bend to my wishes," Yami said. 'Especially if she bears my child,' Yami thought, knowing what he would to do her when she arrives. He will not be disturbed again, she will be his.

"I see," Jou said simply, wondering what thoughts the pharaoh could possibly have. He scared him sometimes, but no matter what he knew he would always be his friend.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Seto laughed when he heard about Malik falling from his hiding place. He couldn't believe he ruined everything, but Malik probably was punished for it. He laughed again and wondered what Bakura could have done to him. It must have been pretty bad for Malik. Seto chuckled then looked at Anzu; she was looking at something or rather someone. It was San.

"Good morning, Miss Anzu," San greeted, and bowed.

"Good morning San, what brings," Anzu said, Seto stayed quiet. He didn't like San, only because he worked for Yami, actually Seto didn't like anyone that was a personal employee for the pharaoh, and San was one of them.

"I have message from the pharaoh," he began and when he had her full attention he continued, "He requests for your presence at the palace. He awaits you Miss Anzu."

"I see, well then I should go," she said, worried. She didn't know what the pharaoh could possibly want, but she knew it wasn't good. This made her stomach hurt. Seto didn't even like this. Why in the world would he want Anzu to go to the palace, what business did he have with her.

"Good, then come with me Miss Anzu," San said as he walked away. Anzu looked at Seto and he nodded. He didn't want her to go, but she had to do whatever the damn pharaoh requested. She mouthed good bye and walked away. Seto watched her leave and couldn't help but feel a bit worried. Yami was planning something, and it definitely wasn't going to be good.

Anzu followed San closely behind and kept on thinking what the pharaoh would want. 'Maybe he was bored and wanted someone to visit him. But he has Jounouchi, so what reason would he want me to come. I'm scared of what he is capable of doing, what if…what if…no! I can't think that way! I have to be brave and whatever Yami wants I'll have to face it,' she thought as she kept walking, but slowly this time.

What seemed forever was a short time and the two had finally arrived at the palace. San looked at Anzu and wondered why she looked so pale. He thought she would be glad to see Yami, after all they were friends. He raised brow and wondered what was up with her, he then decided to shrug it off when they arrived in the throne room. He bowed to her and said farewell as he left. She looked around, trying to find the pharaoh but he was no where to be seen. 'Where is he?' she thought as she got nervous.

"Anzu?" a voice called out to her. She jumped a little and spun around quickly. It was Jou.

"Oh, Jounouchi, you startled me," she said as she went up to him.

"Sorry about that. Well you should follow me, Pharaoh Yami is waiting for you," he said as he began to walk. With hesitation she followed. A few seconds past and she got even more nervous. Where was he taking her?

"Where are we going?" she asked, Jou stayed quiet for a moment then answered.

"Don't worry you'll see," he said without another word. Anzu didn't like this at all. Where was he taking her and why was she here? This isn't good, she felt as if something will happen. She felt sick. "We're here; Yami will be with you in a short while so have a seat any place you like," he said as Anzu walked into the room slowly. He bowed then walked away, closing the door.

It was dark in the room and she went to one of the candles she found. She grabbed it and found a torch on the wall. She quickly snatched it and with the candle she lit it. She also lit other torches she found, and when the room was bright with light, she gasped at what she saw. It was…his room, it was Yami's bedroom. "No" she simply whispered and ran for the door. But as soon she turned around she was faced by Yami. She gasped again and walked backwards slowly. This wasn't good. She was in his room, a place where he could possibly do anything.

"Trying to leave so soon?" He said softly, he could see that she was afraid, but he just chuckled at that.

"N…no, I was…just…" she couldn't think of anything to say. Yami didn't care though; he just began to approach her. "Yami?"

"You seem so scared Anzu, what's wrong?" he asked as he was now five inches away form her.

"Nothing, nothing at all," she said as she tried to back away. But as she moved back, he moved forwards, and soon she was trapped between the wall and Yami.

"Do you know why I have requested for you?" he asked as he grabbed a lock of her hair, just staring into her eyes. She just nodded no and he smiled. "I wanted to talk to you. To finish our 'discussion' we had last time." Anzu eyes went wide; she knew this was going to happen. She didn't know what to do, she was petrified with fear, she couldn't move. Yami took this to his advantage and grabbed her in an embrace. She was stiff and his hands began to roam around. Anzu tried to find her voice but she couldn't, but she was able to after.

"Pl…please, stop," she begged, but Yami wouldn't stop. His hand reached her face and he forced her to look at him. He just stared and what she saw in his eyes made her even more scared. She saw hunger and lust, she knew what he wanted and the thought made her sick. Yami just smiled and leaned down giving Anzu a deep kiss. She tried to push him away, but the hold he had on her was tight. His hands soon left her face and slowly made its way down to her breast. Slowly and gently he began to caress them. This made Anzu eyes open wider, she had to push him away, and with all her force she pushed him. She ran from him and stood there looking at him. "Yami, I don't want this, please just stop! You can't do this!" she cried to him.

"Oh but that's where you're wrong. I can do this, and no matter what you say I know you want it," he told her as he approached. Again she moved back, and this time she was in between him and the bed. Thoughts ran through her head wondering what she could do. She looked around and found nothing that could help her. Without a second to react, Yami had pushed her on the bed. There he quickly got on top and pinned both her hands on top of her head. She was petrified again, not knowing what to do. Yami just smirked and leaned down to give her a hard kiss on the lips. He forced his tongue in her mouth roaming the area and making a few tears fall from Anzu eyes.

Yami soon removed his hands from her wrists, but he was still kissing her. He soon stopped and raised a bit to observer her. He smirked once again and without time for Anzu to react, he grabbed on her robe and ripped the top part in half, revealing her breast. Anzu wanted to hide herself, but he would not let her, he soon grabbed her wrists again and pinned them down. She was crying, feeling embarrassed and scared. How could he do this? How could he be this way? Yami observed her again and admired her beauty. Slowly he bends down and began to lick one of her breast, blowing on them, seeing them grow hard and firm. Anzu couldn't bear it she couldn't let this happen.

"Yami, please, I beg of you, stop," she could barely get the words out, and yet Yami continued his assault. What could she do? What could she do to stop him? She couldn't think, she couldn't do anything. She felt him remove on of his hands from her wrist and held the both with one hand. He moved his hand slowly downward and she didn't like that at all, actually she didn't like any of this. She soon felt him licking her downwards, going slowly and soon reached her abdomen. He didn't stop there though, he continued to go lower. 'No, he can't," she thought as more tears began to fall. There was only one thing to do. She had to stop him no matter what, pharaoh or not, he can't do this! "Stop it Yami!!" Yami couldn't react quickly enough. Anzu had kicked him where it hurts the most, where the sun don't shine.

He stopped what he was doing and fell off the bed with so much pain. He held on to where it hurt and Anzu quickly got out of the bed. She ran to the door and looked back at him. How could she ever forgive him? She felt violated and embarrassed. The tears wouldn't stop and she ran out of the room.

"Anzu!!!" she could hear the pharaoh call out her name, but she wouldn't stop. She had to keep going, she had to get out. As she ran, Jou spotted her and he could see she was crying, he wondered what happened, but Yami would have to be one to tell him, since Anzu was already outside.

Once outside, Anzu did not stop running, she ran as far as she could and wouldn't stop. She didn't even know where her feet were taking her but she didn't care as long as she was out if here, she would be fine. Without even knowing she had gone out of the city, and she still ran. Running and running, she felt her legs would soon give out but she didn't care. She had to get away from everything. She raised her head and couldn't believe what she saw, how long had she been running? In front of her was the city of Crime. She thought it would be best to hide there, to stay there for now. She continued running and entered the city, not caring that Lume was trying to stop her. She ran deeper and deeper and soon passed Bakura's house, but he spotted her.

"Anzu?" he asked seeing her run into the distance. He could see she was crying and this made him worry. He followed her and hoped she was alright.

Anzu ran until she finally arrived at Hikari. She stopped running when she was at the edge of the lake and fell to her knees. She cried and cried shaking uncontrollably. She felt so violated, she didn't know what to do. She wiped the tears, but more just came to take their place. She slowly got up and walked into the lake, once she was in the middle she stood there, just looking at the ripples that the tears created when they fell in the water. It made her a bit calm, but she still shed tears.

Bakura soon came into the cave and saw Anzu standing in the water. She was shaking and crying. He wondered what happened and slowly made his way to her. He walked into the water, and it went unnoticed by Anzu, she was concentrating too much on what happened. He slowly walked up to her and could see she was a mess, whatever happened, wasn't good.

"Anzu?" he whispered. Quickly she turned around and looked at him. Bakura couldn't believe what he saw, her eyes were red and her robe was ripped for the top. He looked away, as Anzu realized why. She covered herself and looked at him and did the only thing she wanted to do. She went up to him and hugged him, held on to him as if life depended on it. She cried on his chest and Bakura just hugged her back. Whatever happened, he was going to make sure whoever did this was going to pay.

He looked down at her and couldn't bear to see her like this. He then thought of one thing to do, he lifted her head so she faced him. He looked down at her with sorrowful eyes and leaned down. Gently he placed a soft kissed on her lips, and Anzu did not push back. She actually accepted it and kissed him back. She was happy, because deep down she knew Bakura cared about her so much and he would keep her safe. That's what she felt safe, and without a doubt…love. For Bakura, it was the same, he loved her and he finally was able to show her.

*… … …Well, that's was interesting. Kind of weird, but interesting. Hoped you liked it, and yes the two are finally together. How beautiful…I think I going to be sick. Anyways, this will be continued later, so see you!
