Drip

Drip

Drip, the rain continue to fall in this matter, making the rhythmical sound covering the silent city under it's blanket and to those who remain outside in it. The rain was cold but it was also comforting to Anzu, she remembered a saying: Rain washes everything away. If that was true, how come she still felt the dirt on her? The stain? Even though the rain made everything clean, she still remain dirty.

Her eyes slightly drooped as she felt Bakura's beating heart against his wet clothes or to be more exact Ryou's. It was so strange. Of all her friends that wanted to help her, they couldn't, she was afraid, so afraid the voice in her head manipulating her, to give in to her wild fantasies. No she didn't allow them to near her, she didn't want to hurt them yet this spirit, a enemy to her and her friends cradled her like a child, soothing her pain.

\\Ryou, I'm going to let you take over\\

// Ok//

"I'm going now" Bakura spoke to the girl and she looked up he saw her blue eyes sadden at this "Sad?" He ask a bit amused and surprised. Anzu felt the transformation and was face with the warm brown eyes of Ryou "Anzu….." he said sadly. She didn't answer him, she felt too ashamed that he saw her in this state. "We should get you home; you're going to catch your death" he said concerned.

"Is that so bad?" she ask. Before Ryou could say something he heard footsteps and cursed under his breathe when he saw he and Anzu were no longer alone. "What are you doing out so late?" the thug spoke. Ryou ignored him and began to help Anzu up, much to the thugs annoyance. "Hey shit face I was talking to you" the thug snapped. Ryou turned to him, his eyes slightly darken; he was not in the mood right now. He felt Anzu cling to him frightened.

"I have nothing , your wasting your time" he replied calmly. The thug smirked at him "I think you do" he said his eyes trailing along Anzu's figure. Anzu looked at him scared "No…not again…." she thought to herself, she suddenly felt so weak and alone again. Ryou had enough of this, without warning he walk to thug and slugged him hard on the right cheek, sending him to the ground "You want some of this? HUH!!" he snapped dangerously; he wasn't about to let Anzu go through hell again. He clench his fist and his eyes narrowed into slits, he look exactly like his Yami at that moment. The thug suddenly took out a gun and aim it at Ryou "STOP!!" Anzu screamed out.

Immediately Bakura took over once again and look at the thug with menacing eyes , his ring beginning to glow and the man suddenly cried out before disappearing to the shadow realm. He turned around and saw Anzu trembling violently he walked to her "well?" he ask. Before she could reply, her eyes closed and begin to fall. Bakura's eyes widen and immediately grabbed her, her forehead laid on his shoulder "She's burning up" he thought, He could her fever blazing against the cloth.

\\ Bakura, we need to get her out of the rain \\

// No shit Sherlock //

\\ Bakura take her to my house, we're around there \\

\\ Fine \\

The ring begin to glow again surrounding the two in it's eerie light "Ring, take me to the destination I desire" he spoke and soon disappeared from the alley. Bakura opened his eyes and found himself in the dark bedroom of Ryou's home, he laid Anzu against the bed . Her face was flush and she was shivering from the cold. He went to the drawers, immediately getting some blankets and Ryou's clothes.

\\ Bakura, what are you doing with my clothes?\\

//Unless you want her to die of pneumonia you are going to change her clothes//

\\ What!?!?\\

// She's your friend so it's only right to do so unless your too small balled //

\\ Fine then \\

With that said Ryou took over again and his gaze went to her, a slight blush forming on his cheeks. He gulped and began to divest her of her clothing. His eyes widened in shock, as he looked at her body filled with faded scars on her chest, torso, arms, and legs "Oh my god….Bakura…." he choked out. Bakura remained silent as he saw what his hikari saw his brow furrowing and not noticing touching his left cheek tracing it like if he had a scar once on it. Ryou was in a state of shock "What did this sicko do to you" he whispered to himself.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"Where is he?"

Anzu sighed to herself she was waiting for twenty minutes but so far there was no sign of him "He's going to be late if he doesn't show up soon" she growled to herself. She let out a sigh and looked up, seeing the clouds beginning to move in and then.

*Plip*

"Oh great, it's raining now" she exclaimed. "Screw this" She thought and begin to walk back home along the rain. She enjoyed the rain surprisingly, she like how fresh and pure it made the air as if everything was reborn anew. She stopped and turned around, she thought she had heard something "just my head" she muttered and continue to walk. All of the sudden she felt something cover her mouth and grip her waist she tried to cry out but the person had his hand clamp tightly around her mouth.

All of a sudden she felt something grab her neck and her eyes shut, darkness surrounding her sight.

~//~

Anzu groaned in pain as she forcefully opened her eyes "where am I?" she thought and her eyes widen when she noticed she was strapped on a bed "oh my god, this isn't happening" she thought wildly and begin to struggle. She couldn't get free and she began to get desperate looking for a way out of this she heard the door opened and she looked up, her eyes widening in fear and shock.

"Why? Why are you doing this?" she cried out still not believing who she saw. He just chuckled in reply and begin to walk to her with sadistic eyes. Anzu trembled at the thought, the truth she knew of what he was going to do but she still couldn't believe it.

"Please, don't…why?" she pleaded but received no answer. He stood besides her and with a smirk, begin to go on top of her. Anzu eyes widen more with horror "Please…" she began and let out a gasp when he began to straddle her, the friction between their clothes grew. She shut her eyes feeling him rolling his hips. She felt his hands going up her pink blazer and grabbing her left breast. She let out a small cry much to his satisfaction, the hand began to move around it and it slip between the blazer through her shirt and fondled with the mound. She whimpered at this and felt him kiss her forcefully prying her mouth open and slipping his tongue in exploring everything, gagging her at times.

He broke the lock which left Anzu gasping for air and she felt his tongue trail down her neck while he made his hips thrust against her. She let out a moan of resistance which only made his advances more aggressive "Please stop it…." she spoke weakly. She felt both his hands on her chest and she whimpered even more. He ripped it off along with her shirt to reveal her laced bra she heard him make a sound of appreciation she opened her eyes and they met with his. Tears began to form in her eyes "Why?" she ask, the tears now streaming to her face. She let out a cry when she felt something slice her skin, her shoulder was bleeding, a trail of blood leaking down. He only smirked at this and lapped it up with his tongue, sucking on her cut hungrily while she let out a gasp of pain. "I want to taste more" he spoke.

Anzu couldn't breathe

"Please, no….stop….stop….YUUGI!!! JOUNOUCHI!?!! HELP!!! WHERE ARE YOU??"

"Anzu, Anzu, wake up ANZU!!"

Anzu woke with a sharp gasp, her chest rising up and down in a fast pace. She look around in a cold sweat before pulling her knees close to her in an attempt to cover herself from whoever wanted to harm her. "Anzu……" Ryou spoke softly, his brown eyes full of concern. She began to tremble and slowly rocked herself. "Anzu…I'm" Ryou trailed off; god how much he just wanted to embrace her and tell her everything would be fine, she was safe with him.

"I'm sorry Ryou….."

"It's all right" Ryou quickly spoke to her getting a little bit closer to her "Where am I?" she ask. "At my house" he answered to her. "You should get more rest, if you need anything from me or Bakura, we'll be downstairs" he said and began to stand up.

"NO!!!"

Anzu grabbed his shirt clinging to him tears coming out "Please, don't leave me alone….sleep here with me….." She pleaded. Ryou felt his heart beat faster and he turn to her, meeting her scared blue orbs "Please……don't leave me alone……." she begged, despair lacing her every word. Ryou couldn't refuse her request, not after all she been through. "All right," he answered to her.

"Thank you" she answered timidly. Ryou just nodded to her and began to outstretch his hands wiping the tears from her "You're safe here, don't cry" Ryou said and Anzu gave him a sad smile. Thunder boom from the outside and lightning came, putting the dark room in a bright flash in a matter of seconds. The rain continue to beat down on the household showing no signs of lightening any time soon. Ryou suddenly felt himself lost in her cerulean eyes and not noticing cupped her cheek grazing it while her own came up touching his hand.

"Ryou…." she began, snapping him from his daze. "I'm sorry Anzu" he spoke taking his hand off of her. The awkward silence was soon interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing. Ryou was only too happy to answer it.

// Getting a little too comfortable, weren't you light?//

\\ ……….. \\

"Hello?"

"Ryou!! Thank god!! Anzu's been missing for a half in hour!!" Yuugi's voice screamed in to the phone, making Ryou's ears ring. "It's ok Yuugi, she's here with me" Ryou said, trying to calm down the short duelist. "She is? How--?"

"I was walking back home when I spotted her in a near by alley and I brought back to my place" he half lied. He heard Yuugi sigh in pure relief. "How is she doing?' Yuugi ask. Ryou couldn't help but grimace at that question "Better" he could only say. "I see….Ryou, please take care of her while she's there" Yuugi spoke and Ryou nodded over the phone.

"I will Yuugi"

"thanks"

*click*

"Who was that?" Anzu ask. "It was Yuugi, don't worry I told him you're here with me" he explained. Anzu only nodded and laid back on the bed sniffling lightly. "Anzu…….do you want to talk about your dream?" he ask and she slowly shook her head. Ryou desperately wanted to know about the scars, who was the guy who did this but, he also didn't want to pry into anything deep if she didn't want it.

"Can you lay by me?" she ask timidly. Ryou's heart began to beat faster and a familiar warmth crept on his cheeks "O-o-ok" he stuttered nervously. Slowly, he slip in the sheets, his whole body was stiff as he felt the warmth besides him his heart was like a jackhammer now ready to burst out of his chest. "Calm down" Ryou thought to himself this was Anzu he was thinking about; but he did have a slight crush on her, which only added to the affects of his current situation.

"Ryou?"

"Y-yes?"

"Thank you; you and Bakura, I mean" she said in a tired tone. Ryou let a small smile show as his eyes begin to droop "It all right Anzu, just sleep" he said with a yawn before he went into a deep slumber besides the brunette.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Hours pass and Anzu couldn't still sleep, she was so afraid of having the dreams again, no, she didn't want relive them again. She hugged herself, now in a fetal position. She just listen, listen to the rain, Ryou's light breathing as he slept she closed her eyes but they immediately jerked open.

"Cannot sleep?"

Anzu looked up, only to be met by Bakura who stared back in his usual expression. Anzu immediately look down in embarrassment "Gomen" she whispered and Bakura only snorted at this. "You can't sleep because of the nightmares, am I correct?" his voice spoke making her silent with revelation. Tears began to come out, she tried to wipe them off but they wouldn't stop "Why can't I stop crying" she thought to herself frustrated she hated to cry like this all the time she never cried at all before…

{Before he came and screwed your brains out you dirty slut}

[ shut-up….]

{Why deny it? You like it, like how he fondled you, how he touched you…. How he felt in you}

[Stop it……please…..it hurted……]

{In and out, in and out, you remember that right, your body getting hotter by the moment, screaming for more……}

[no……..shut-up just shut-up]

{dirt, that's what you are, just filth, shattered, an empty husk with memories of that of a dirty dog}

[SHUT-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

She begin to cry, all over again as the voice began to taunt once again she begin to rubbed her arms again "Dirty….dirty….filth….." she said to herself. Bakura only look with a solemn face, without a moment, he took the sobbing girl into his arms hugging her against his chest. Anzu jolted by the touch but it had succeeded in snapping her from another flashback. "Bakura……" she said looking up to him all of the sudden began crying in his chest. "I hate this…….why…..?" she said between sobs "I feel so alone……." she admitted to him. "Woman, you're not alone" he said to her. Anzu stop and look up her blue eyes locking against his brown orbs "Bakura?" she ask.

"….."

"Bakura, what do you mean?" she ask again looking at him then she saw his eyes slightly get a sad glazed look and she gasp.

"No…..but…..that's……"

Bakura smirked at her, it look like she had figured it out before he could tell her "My punishment from the head thief, I was Ryou's age, hard to believe, but I was like Ryou…….do you want to know why he punished me?"

"………………."

"I wouldn't let him use a small girl as a means of entertainment. He then decided, that I should be punish, show me my place. I still remember it quite vividly, the pain….excruciating, but most of all the humiliation I felt after it. It was enough to drive me to the brink of insanity, pure hatred and rage, and I slit his throat, letting his blood trickle while he slept. It didn't help, the damage had been already done……" he spoke. He saw the girl look at him, her eyes widen in shock and sympathy. "Bakura……." she said shock and suddenly, much to his surprise embrace him tightly as in an attempt to give comfort to him.

"Why comfort me, I don't need your pity" he snapped at her. "I'm so sorry…….sorry….." she said to him hugging him tighter. Bakura frowned at this why was this girl apologizing when she wasn't the one who done it. "Stupid girl" he spoke but allowed her to embrace him still. "That's why……" she trailed off "That's why, he's the way he is" she thought to herself sadly.

Their eye met once again, it was dead silent in the room, neither spoke but just looked at each other until one of them broke the silence. Anzu's eyes widen as she felt his lips touch firmly against her own, her eyes slowly closed allowing it. After what seemed like hours he broke the kiss, looking back at her, she opened her own, staring back.

"Bakura……"
