A Little Bit of Hope
Run
Keep running…..
I have to keep running……
I have to get to them, before it's too late
Sweat dripped off his fore head, his white blonde hair flying through the rushing wind. His amethyst eyes filled with fear and anxiety but even so, he needed to keep running. "I need to get there" he thought to himself beginning to feel the weariness in his legs, his body.
The scent of spilled blood suddenly hit him like a brick, he gagged while inhaling the metallic scent. Soon he began to follow a road of blood. The smell getting stronger by the moment, "Please, please…."he thought frantically. In the darkness which he ran the only thing he hear was his panting breath. But more so his beating heart, that seem to bounce off and echo around the darkness.
It was soon drowned out by the sounds of shrieking, which made Malik's blood freeze. He ran faster, the trail of blood getting darker, wider, his eyes widen at the sight before him.
"NNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
He suddenly lost his footing, and fell into the blood spitting out some that gotten in his mouth, disgusted. He looked up and suddenly felt his whole body paralyzed. The bodies laid before them bleeding their wounds, the crimson liquid oozing out, to where the trail he followed was. "Father…..Rishid……" he began to speak and noticed a third body. His eyes suddenly got deathly paled when he saw the long midnight black hair. "NEE-SAN!!!!!" He screamed out horrified, seeing her guts spewed out of the large gap in her abdomen. Malik felt bile coming up his throat, this was too much for him to take.
He vomited.
He felt his insides twist and churn as the vomit came spewing out, hitting the bloodied black ground he heard chuckling from behind him and he wipe his mouth, it turned into a sneered. "You…..Why do you keep tormenting me, Marik…..WHY!!" he yelled turning to him but gasp when he saw himself. "Marik? Marik is you. Don't you understand?" he spoke to Malik his glazed eyes never leaving his own.
"Shut-up"
"Malik, this is what you want. This is what you did, do you remember? How you sliced fathers flesh? How you almost killed Rishid? Yes, your sister is your next victim"
"SHUT-UP!! LEAVE ME ALONE!! THIS IS JUST A DREAM!!!" He shrieked at the other him only to received more chuckling. "looks like we have a visitor.." he heard the other Malik speak. He stop and listen, it was the sounds of crying. He looked up and saw…..
"Her….what is she doing here…?" Malik could only say beginning to stand up "You better save her, before it's too late" the other Malik spoke before disappearing. "WHAT!??" Malik exclaimed but he was too late, the other him was already gone. "Anzu?' he spoke only to receive more sobs as answer. She was crouched in a tiny ball, and she rocking herself slowly back and forth. Malik began to walk to her, and then, heard a sound. He look down, seeing the black floor begin to crack "Glass?" He thought. He then noticed the cracks began to lead to where Anzu was crouched "oh my god" he thought to himself and began to run towards her.
"ANZU!!!" he called out . His arms where now outreached as in attempt to grabbed her but, the ground beneath them broke and like glass, it shattered, plummeting them down in the dark abyss. Both fell into the void, still falling in this bottomless pit. Both he and Anzu fell headfirst "Anzu, give me your hand" he called out outstretching his own; he didn't want to her to die like this. She slowly opened her eyes and tears fell from them, full of hurt and betrayal "why?" she spoke before she, like the glass broke and shattered into million pieces.
Malik just look in shock at the sight before him before plunging into black waters as it echoed in the dark void.
Malik woke with a jerk, his chest rising up and down rapidly. "Isis?" he spoke turning to the right of him, only seeing his sister sound asleep. He let out a sigh of relief slumping back into his seat, closing his eyes "Bad dream…." he spoke to himself. He look out the window and noticed a familiar sight. "Tokyo Tower? We're already in Japan?" he exclaimed and look at his watch. "It's the sixth?? But we left yesterday!" he thought and laughed to himself "Damn, I slept more than 24 hours straight."
We have arrived to Japan, there will be some Godzilla turbulence so please stay calm
"That's suppose to be funny?" Malik thought sighing at the lameness the pilot had. He gently shook his sister "Isis, wake up" he spoke but only received a frown from her sleeping face, a smirk appeared on his face and he went closer to her ear.
"Your going to be late undressing the pharaoh" he whispered in her ear. Isis eyes snapped open and she immediately looked around "what the?' she spoke and notice Malik stifling some laughter. "Brother….." she began but then a sly smile appeared on her face.
"Care to join me in his undressing?"
OoO;;;
"You make the most amusing faces, Malik" she replied still seeing the mortified look on his face. He then pouted, sticking out his lower lip "Not funny, woman" he said annoyed, much to Isis's amusement. The plane soon stopped as it hit the ground, causing some momentary discomfort for it's passengers.
"You have everything you need?"
"Yep! Lets go"

The sounds of bird chirping filed the air, as the sun came up from it's long slumbering, spewing out it's light and warmth onto the silent city of Domino. Ryou frown slightly at the light intrusion and turned over, cuddling to a near by warmth. His eyes popped open when he realized the near by warmth he cuddling with was Anzu Mazaki.
"Oh bloody crap"
He couldn't help but stared at the girl who slept besides him, noticing that she was nestling against his chest. One of his hands slowly reached up, brushing a strands of stray hair back in place. "It looks like she's a little better" he thought to himself and noticed her eyes slowly opening.
"Ohayo…."
Anzu just nodded in reply, a faint color on her cheeks. "Did you sleep well?" he ask. "Better than the last couple of weeks" she spoke and flinched; she revealed a little bit too much. "Did something happen last night? A bad dream?" he ask concern. Anzu put her hand over her lips remembering the events last night where she and Bakura shared a kiss together.
FLASH
After what seemed like hours, Bakura finally let go of his lock against her lips, the two stare at each other, both speechless of what just happened. "Bakura……" Anzu began, looking at him quite surprised. "I….." Bakura tried to explain; but he didn't have a reason for what he did that moment. The rain fell softly against the roof , while the two were in an awkward silence, listening.
"Anzu….."
Anzu look at him; it was the first time she heard her say her name before. "What I did……..I can't regret it, because I don't……." he finally answered. "Bakura…….are you…."she stop as a hand went over her mouth, shock from the thought of it. "Ryou and I are halves of a whole, what he loves….I can't help but feel it….."
Anzu felt her whole being froze on the spot; this was too much to take, it was so sudden. She felt his arms encircle him "Ryou, doesn't have the guts to confess but……he does lo--"
"Please Bakura, this is too much for me…….I can't…I don't deserve this…." she suddenly cried out covering her face, her shoulders were shaking as the tears began again. "I'm nothing but filth; How could he ever like some slut like me?" she sobbed to him. Bakura eye's furrowed "Anzu, that enough!" he suddenly snapped and the hands slid off from her face.
"You are not a slut you dumb girl! You couldn't do anything under those circumstances! " he exclaimed his eyes, suddenly darkening to a black as he too remembered what had happened to him. Anzu just looked at him some rogue tear slip out and she embraced him while she felt his arms circle her pulling her close to him.
"Y-You're…..the first person….I'm not….afraid…..to touch me" she said between sobs as he felt her stroke her back. Bakura's could only look at the girl in empathy; she went through so much, like himself, all those centuries before. "If it will make you feel better…….I will be here, to protect you…." he suddenly said to her. "Really……?" she spoke in a whisper.
"I will…….I won't force the feelings my hikari or I have on you………"
"Thank you…..It's just…..I can't….right now….I just can't……." she spoke between sobs and continue to cry on Bakura as the rain beat down onto the sleeping house.
FLASH
"Anzu? Are you all right?" Ryou ask, concern. Anzu snapped from her daze and gave him a weak smile "Ryou….I have to ask you something…"she began and her heart began to accelerate. A twinge of fear hit her as she stared into his caring eyes "Can I…..Can I really confront him?' she thought to herself, while he waited for her to finish the question. She closed her eyes, but only for a second before letting a sigh and opening them again. Her blue eyes now serious and clear as she began to put this the best terms she can possibly think.
"Ryou……..what……..what do you see in me……."she finally spoke. Ryou froze on the spot "S-She found out? H-How…..bloody hell….." he thought frantically.
"I……I…..I……"
\ You imbecile, just spit it out!\
/ Bakura….this is harder than it looks…/
\ not especially, I confessed to her last night \
/ YOU WHAT!??!?? /
\And I told her how you felt\
/BAKURA!!!!!!!!!!!!!/
\What?\
Ryou mentally gave his yami a death stare "I can't believe he did that; an to Anzu in this condition also……" he thought to himself. HE looked up and his eyes locked with her own he took a deep breathe "Anzu……I do have…..fe…..feel…."
Ding Dong
"Damn…."Ryou thought. "Ano….I'll get that" Anzu spoke and without thinking began to descend the stairs. Ryou just stood there, dumbfounded "I….almost……" he thought to himself.
\Ryou\
/ What is it? /
\ Anzu is still in your shirt \
Without another thought Ryou sped to stop Anzu from opening the door. "Wait Anzu" he called out but it was too late; she was already at the door.
//Yami, I hope she's all right….I worry about her so much….//
\\ I also Aibou, but, I will not rest until I find the person who dared commit these acts upon her \\
"Yuug"
Yuugi turned slightly only to see Jou and Mai walking towards them "Jounouchi, Mai, I thought you were going to meet at my house after I took Anzu home" he spoke surprised. Mai eyes darted to Jou while he gave him a solemn face "I know Yuugi….it's just that……I have to see her again…..she needs to know……it's not her fault; I don't hate her for what she did" he spoke seriously.
"……Jou….." Yuugi began but their conversation was soon interrupted by the door opening and Yuugi quickly turned around "Ryou, we're here to pick up…….Anzu?" he said. The brunette look a bit shock before hiding herself behind the door, she still couldn't look at her friends in the eye. "Anzu, are you all right? Did you sleep well? Did Ryou do anything? What about Bakura??" Yuugi quickly ask fear glazing into his eyes. Anzu look at her childhood friend for the longest time and she did something she hadn't done in a long time, smiled at him.
"Yuugi, I'm all right" she spoke softly. Yuugi wiped the forming tears off his face looking at her "Anzu, I'm so sorry this is all my fault…..damn it all…..I…I.." he choked out. "Yuugi…." she began, coming out of hiding from the door. "It isn't…." she could manage to say to him; it always hurted her to see Yuugi blame himself for things that couldn't be helped.
"Anzu" Jounouchi spoke, suddenly getting both Yuugi and hers attention. Anzu immediately turned away from him "Lets talk….after you change from Ryou's clothes…." he couldn't help but joke and saw her slightly color at this. She only nodded in reply "I'll be out in a few minutes, then…." she spoke, before disappearing back inside the house.
"It's yuugi right?" Ryou ask and she nodded. "I'm going to change but…." she began and Ryou gave her a questioning look. "Can you come with us, please?" she ask. "I….I still feel……weak….and….you and Bakura are the only person I'm not afraid of….." she explain to him. "All right then" he answered.
"Thanks Ryou…" she said, before going back to the stairs, avoiding his gaze.
\ Ryou, you will have to tell her, you know \
/It's easier said than done Bakura/
\pfft, I've admitted to her\
/I wish you didn't, she doesn't need this now/
\Ryou, she does……I know from experience\
/ This isn't like you/
\ …………you are so naïve, I envy you at times…….\
\?\
"All right, I'm ready"
Her voice broke Ryou's connection from his dark as he looked up seeing Anzu slowly going down the stairs; she look better but her blue eyes were still dull and glazed and most of all alone. "Anzu……." he began while she gave him a questioning look "Will you feel better…..if I let Bakura be with you" he found himself saying, but he wasn't surprised by it at all; he had a feeling his Yami did something last night that made the change he noticed in him.
Anzu looked at him questioningly but slowly nodded "I-if that's ok with you, Ryou" she manage to speak. "I don't mind, it's just……he's better at this, he can help you more than I ever can" he confessed to her. Before she could say something the ring materialized on his chest while his hair became wilder and longer and he became a bit older.
"Bakura"
"Anzu…..lets not keep the annoying pharaoh and your friends waiting" he spoke and saw her look at him. "What?" he said a little annoyed "You didn't call me woman" she answered and he only snorted at this. He stood besides her and they're hands slightly touch against each other; he felt a jolt in him "Ugh, how can these mortals handle these things called emotions?" he thought to himself but he wasn't doing anything to detain contact for her.
"Thank you…..Bakura" Anzu began. Before she could continue she felt him take her into his arms
" Bakura?"
"Do not shut yourself; I attempted but it only made my mental state worse….instead, I found solace in making others suffer let them take the wrath of the humiliation I have gone through……." he spoke to her. "Bakura…..why did you have to suffer so much….." Anzu thought to herself sadly. For as long as she known, she couldn't find herself to hate the spirit, despite all the things he put her and her friends through, she always felt he suffered and it was the only way of solace for him; she was right.
"lets go then…" he spoke, releasing his hold on her and regained his usual cold demeanor. He opened the door for her and they began to walk outside, being greeted by the people who were be determine to help the person they loved.

"Well, if there's anyway I can possibly make it up to you……"
SLAM!!!!
"That went well" Malik thought sarcastically and sighed to himself "At least he didn't come at me with a shot gun like the other guy did" he said to himself slightly cringing at the thought of it. As he walked away from the home he made a mental note of how many people were left to apologized before confronting Yuugi and his friends even though he knew, it would not be a happy reunion.
"I have a lot to do"
"Do we have to run Malik?" Isis spoke and he shook his head. "No; he only slammed the door on me, hopefully he won't get his gun like the other two" he answered to her. Isis only chuckle at this as they walked together. Isis noticed he was tense she wanted to know why "perhaps, It is jet lag" she thought to herself.
"Isis, I had a dream…."
"About what?" she ask and saw the frightened look on his face "Was it Marik again?" she said concerned. "No, I dream's about you,Rishid and Father….I killed you all……"he began and stopped when Isis pulled him in a tight embrace.
"Listen to me; it wasn't your fault and it's doe not mean anything" she exclaimed holding him close to her. "How can I know Sis…" he said; tears threatening to spill. "Malik, you won't it's just a dream….only a dream…" she coax to him.
"If it isn't….." he couldn't help but ask.. "Do not doubt yourself; you're not as weak as you think" her firm tone spoke. Malik look up at her "It is a dream and nothing more" she assured him.
"Sister, thank you" he spoke and she nodded to him. "We have much left to do, little brother" she spoke and they continued to walk. Even though what Isis had said, he felt uneasy about it "Why was she there? Something must have happen to her I know it…….Anzu….." he thought to himself replaying the scene over and over again in his head. He rubbed his forehead in pain; Marik was attempting to talk to him. "Peh, like I would want to talk to you again" he spoke.
He let a smile show when he realized something.
It was much easier to suppress Marik now
"This is great, a little bit more time and he'll be submissive for good" he though happily. "It's actually going to happen….my new life" he thought to himself.
But fate had a way of screwing things up
