They Finally Meet Again
"Anzu?" was the thing malik said, before both plunged into the raging waters below. The cold water hit his skin like a thousand needles as everything was drown out by the sound of rushing water. He felt the rivers power pull him along with it. He opened his eyes, looking for any sign of her. His lungs burn and he had to come up for some air.
"ANZU!!" he called out but received no answer, taking a deep breath, he went under again. He search frantically and then saw her, she was stuck on something. He began to swim frantically to her and seeing her hand was stuck against a hook. He grabbed to her, trying to free her sleeve from the hook, but it proved more than difficult as the water threatened to take him further downstream.
"I can't…..I wont let her die" he thought to himself and mange to rip her sleeve off of it and now both were being push by the freezing water. Malik held her in a tight embrace trying to stop himself against the raging water.
"I can't….I wont…."
His hand suddenly shot out of the water, grabbing onto the ground. He buried his fingers into it; attempting to pull himself up. He felt so tired and the waters continue to beat on them both. "I….can't give up now…" he spoke to himself and with what little strength left, pull both himself and Anzu out of the water. He immediately felt her pulse "Oh god….she's not breathing" he cried to himself. Without another thought he plugged her noise and his mouth met with hers, as he gave life giving oxygen into her. After a couple of breathes he begin to push down on her chest.
"Come on….come on…wake up…please…" he spoke before giving her more air and pushing down on her chest again. His eyes begin to widen in fear when there was no change he begin to push down harder but still she would not stir awake.
"Anzu…..wake up…."
"………………"
"Don't die….don't die….." he said but she still wasn't breathing. "Oh god….." he thought to himself and suddenly embraced her tightly "Don't do this Anzu……I haven't apologized for what I did to you" he cried the tears now streaming down but still received no answer. "I'm sorry for manipulating you, I'm sorry for the pain I caused you, I'm sorry that I put you and your friends through hell…..just wake up….please I don't care if you'll hate me till the end of time…please….breathe woman….breathe" he exclaimed.
"I'm sorry…..I'm sorry….I'm sorry" he began to repeat over and over as he held her tightly against him.
"I'm sorry…..I'm sorry"
Anzu slowly opened her eyes "Where am I?" she thought to herself lying on the ground. She look to her side and saw.
"Malik?" she spoke surprise to see the Egyptian boy sitting besides her. "Hey, you're awake" he said happily while he peeled the skin off an apple with a knife. Anzu sat up grabbing her head in pain "What are you doing here?" she ask. Malik stop for a moment "Hmm, I saw you sleeping and I didn't want to leave you alone, so I decided to keep you company" he explain and cut of the remaining skin on the apple.
"Here" he spoke handing her the skinless apple "Eat. It looks like you haven't for the past couple of days" he replied, looking at her. Anzu looked at the apple then to malik, she lightly colored when he kept staring at her.
"Is there something in my teeth?"
"No, I was just thinking, I forgotten how cute your are" he said smiling cutely at her (is cutely even a word??) Anzu immediately look away and began eating the apple color still on her cheeks.
"I missed you…you know…."
This made Anzu almost choke on her apple and she turned to him again with wide eyes "Ok…now I know you're NOT Malik!" she exclaimed. Malik only chuckled at this "C'mon Anzu, you know I wasn't always a psycho; my sister told you and you're friends what happen to me….." he trailed off a sad look sweeping on his face. Anzu felt a pang of sympathy "I'm sorry Malik" she said.
"Nah, you have a right to say that; after everything I put you through" he replied looking at her smiling. He suddenly laid his head on her lap while Anzu's face begin to glow red. "Is it ok if I can sleep like this for a while?" he ask timidly.
"uh….I guess…."
"Thanks, haven't had a good night sleep in ages" he said looking at her from where he laid. "He's like a cute little kid, actually….." Anzu mused to herself. "You know, you should wake up soon, other me is having a nervous break down"
"Wha?" Anzu begin and all of the sudden, she blacked out.
"I'm sorry…."
*cough cough*
Malik eyes suddenly jerk pop open as he felt her gasp, and her chest begin to rise up and down rapidly. He laid her down she was still unconscious, but she was breathing. "Thank you Ra" he spoke to himself as pure relief washed over him. His eye never took off her sleeping figure
.
"ANZU?!?!!"
"WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"ANZU!?!?!!"
Malik look up, seeing Yuugi and the other from a distance "Oh no…" he thought to himself. He wasn't ready to face them yet, but he didn't want to leave Anzu as she was. "Damn," he muttered to himself and look at the sleeping girl "I'm sorry Anzu...." he said and with a deep breathe jumped into the river just as her friends were approaching.
"There she is" Mai exclaim. Yuugi and Ryou raced over there. "Anzu!" Yuugi called out. Ryou expected the unconscious girl and his eyes slightly widen "Anzu…you didn't….." he spoke to himself, seeing her clothes wet. All of the sudden, her eyes opened, and they attempted to focus, the first person she saw was Ryou "Anzu…" he began.
Tear began to from, and she threw herself on him, burying her face in his chest. Ryou fell to the ground, anzu still clench against him, he looked down to the sobbing girl and embraced her. "Anzu…." yuugi spoke, clenching his hands into fists. He suddenly turned to the doctor, anger were in his eyes "What did you say to her. TELL ME!!" he shouted at him.
"I'm sorry, but that is confidential" he said to him. "Doctor, I think you owe them so much" Anzu's mother spoke. Reyako sighed and slowly nodded "If that's what you wish…..Mrs. Mazaki" he answered and turned to them.

"That's the last time I do something that stupid as jumping BACK into the river…."
Malik dragged himself from the river, sprawled along the ground, while he caught his breathe. He opened his eyes, looking at the sky above him, while his chest rose up and down, replaying the last few events that happened. He remained silent at the thought, the thought of Anzu actually committing to do that.
"What happen to her? She looked so…….so….alone…..kinda like me….."
He mused at this but he slightly sadden at the thought of her being alone. From the first time he met her, or more exactly, spied on her and her friends, he found her intriguing. He never seen anyone like her, it make sense, he spent the last part of his life underground and the only female he came across was his sister.
But Anzu was different.
"She was….so strong….even when she was near death, she was ready to throw it away, so her friends would not get hurt, she even help me save Rishid…." he thought to himself. Of course after Bakura lost the duel with his dark he used Anzu's body to warn his sister to save Rishid from Marik.
"But still….I wonder what happen to make her try to kill herself….it makes me sad…to see such a vibrant girl…become….so dead….."
"Hi my names Anzu, and this is Jounouchi" the brunette happily introduced. Malik let a calm demeanor out "My names Namu, nice to meet you" he said politely while he shortly stop noticing the girls eyes. "I've never seen, eyes…..so vibrant….." he thought to himself.
Malik felt his cheeks warm up at the thought. "I should get going to the hotel, Isis must be worried sick by now" he said. He began getting up but the thought still remain with him; Why did she do it? The pharaoh maybe? Malik shook his head. No, he knew she would never do something that drastic over him, he knew the last thing she would do was sadden her beloved pharaoh. He rubbed his forehead in exhaustion and his eyes widen in revelation "My medication! I forgot to take my dose!!" he exclaimed and immediately searched in his pocket. He sighed in relief when he pulled out the blue bottle.
"Thank you god"
He wince at the pain at his forehead; Marik was attempting to break free. His hands struggle to take off the cap but it would not. "Damn it op--AAHHH!!!" he suddenly clasped his head, letting the bottle dropped. He grinded his teeth, Marik was using a lot more aggression this time, making him feel his head splitting in half.
"N-no….I w-wont'……let you…."
"Just give in Malik, you're too weak to fight back"
Shit he was talking to himself again, Marik was gaining more control. He began to shake as he mentally fought for control of his body. "No…no….." he muttered. He felt his hair spiking up and his sight begin to dim.
Your not as weak as you think …..
"Isis?" he thought to himself as the image of his sister came to him, his only family left. Then a image of Anzu flash to him
" I won't let you near her, I promise you that"
"My promise….I have to keep….my promise…" he thought to himself. He grabbed for his bottle, breaking the cap open, he was breathing hard he could no longer see in his left eye and half of his body became numb. He looked at himself in the water; half of his hair was spike and his left eye was lidded, as a faint glow appeared on his forehead. "I….won't….I won't….LET YOU WIN!!!" he scream out. He took out two pills and immediately shoved it in his mouth, swallowing them hastily.
He fell back onto the ground, holding his chest, immediately feeling the side-effects of the drugs. He let out a familiar unstable laugh out "See Marik, I'm not going to let you….ever…." he spoke tiredly he began to feel tired, so tired. He began to see double of everything; he had forgotten how strong 500 milligrams could be and that was just one pill, but he took two of them in his panic.
"I took 1000 mg.?….Shit…."
His eyes closed as he went into a deep sleep.

"Give me some sake for tonight"
"Here you go sir"
"Thanks," Reyako replied and poured himself some while the bartender looked at him. "Rough day?" he ask and the doctor nodded. "More like the shit hit the fan," he replied before drinking his rice wine in one gulp. The bartender shrug, before tending to his other customers. He poured another glass, before sending it down the hatchet.
"Mesumui Reyako, I never thought of you as the drinking type…"
Reyako looked up only to see the therapist "Can I join you?" she ask and he nodded silently, pouring her a glass. Both sat in awkward silence.
"You know, she's my first patient, right?"
"What?" the therapist spoke. "It's always different from what they teach you in school, sure they show you video's of it, surgeries, abortions, miscarriages….." he stop and took another drink from his glass. "I still remember, when they brought her in, the family doctor was out so I filled in for him…."
FLASH
"Reyako-sensei, we have an emergency!!"
"What is it?"
"A girl by just came in, her parents say she tried to kill herself by engulfing a whole bottle of medicinal pills"
"What is her status"
"Stable but the pressure is low"
"Ok take to the one of the stations, how long did they bring her here"
"Just now"
"Good, we can pump her stomach out then" he ordered and the nurses nodded. He noticed a girl on the stretcher
"Is this her? " he ask and the doctors nodded. He immediately grabbed hold of the stretcher, rushing her to one of the rooms. "Reyako-sensei, are you sure about this? You just got out and…" one of the nurses began.
"Are you doubting my abilities as a professional?"
"No…."
"Good, we have no time for doubt! A girls life is at stake!!" he snapped as he push through the doors.
********
What the…something in there….I can't make it out whatever it is, it's coming out on it's own!" He exclaimed his eyes widen when it fell out of her robe. The room became silent.
"Ka….mi…..sa….ma….."
FLASH
"It's always different, no matter how many films you see about it, it still shocks you…." he finished taking a hard drink down. Misuno looked at him in sympathy "They say that being a doctor is hard….because you cannot be close to a patient, or else it will interfere with your performance….the same can go for a therapist…"
"Misuno-sensei……how can you not be affected by this, for me, I feel, I failed her…"
"Whoever said I wasn't…?"
"…………………."

"Anzu? Are you still awake?"
No answer. Anzu's mother let a long sigh and begin to leave the entrance of her daughters room. She slowly descended against the stairs wiping off some rouge tears. "Anzu….look how much you've suffered….I'm so sorry…..I wasn't there when I should have….I know….it was always hard for you to be alone when your father and I went away on our Business trips….but now…..Anzu…..I'm sorry…so sorry…." Her shoulder begin to shake and more tears went down on the sides of her face and she sobbed at it. "Anzu…." she said between sobs. Little did she know, that Anzu wasn't in her room. It was alone, the only thing signifying a sign of activity was the blowing wind, through the opened window.
Crawling my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
The streets were more than empty, for the exception of some life, from owl, thugs, creeps, and a brunette girl, walking all by herself. She ignored the sounds around her, people laughing, talking, the sound of children playing around, it was all deafened out, all she could hear was a silence and the sound of her footsteps.
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming…
Confusing….
Her eyes were now dull, grayish, and she was incredibly pale, but, she didn't care, she didn't want to stay in, she wanted to be somewhere away……from everything. Her skin, the dirt, all over her, she felt like it was crawling itching to fall off her. Without noticing, she begin to rub her arms rethinking about everything, that led up to this. There was something that pulled beneath the surface, she knew what it was, it made her retch, she was shattered, her skin, was crawling, and she killed her own child….
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling…
I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Now the self of confidence I'm convince that it's too much pressure to take.
"Why can't everything stop?…..Why can't I find peace…..?"
I felt this way before
So insecure…
She received no answer as she walked past the signs of life, not caring where she was going, "I was going to have a boy….I wonder what he would have looked liked……if I didn't kill him…" the tear began to form and dropped to the ground she couldn't take this….but she deserved every bit of it, she was filth, dirt…pathetic, she couldn't even remember the face of the man who did this to her, it was a blur…..
Crawling in my skin
These wounds…
They will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
She buried her hand into a pocket and took out a small razor blade, her eyes glazed, she was listening to the voice that ha never left her, since this ha all started. It was telling her to do it, she had another choice…because she wasn't even worth living. She looked at the small blade her reflection appearing on it.
Discomfort in the sea has pull itself upon me
Distracting
Reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting
How I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Now the self of confidence, I'm convince that it's too much pressure to take.
I felt this way before so insecure
She begin to lower the blade and it slid a bit through the skin, causing her blood to well up from the cut. She didn't care, she didn't feel it now, like everything…..everything she thought before, hope was lies…all lies..the blood slid down her wrist, falling the pavement, she didn't even know she was back on the breigde near the river…but, she didn't care, just how sharp the blade was.
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
She begin to raise it, as in a trance up to her neck, her eyes were clouded, and she lost all sense of reality the cold steel press against her soft slender neck and she gently graze it at first, but began to drive a little deeper making a
small cut, across it.
"No…more….it ends…now…."
Confusing…..confusing
What is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface consuming
Confusing what is real
This lack of self control I fear Is never ending…controlling
Confusing what is real
"Stop…please…."
Anzu turned around to right of hear, her eyes widened and didn't know she gripped the blade, making her fingers bleed. "M-Malik…." she could only say. The blonde Egyptian looked at her tiredly and began walking slowly to her. "Anzu…give me…the blade.." he said in a tired but firm voice. Anzu shook her head "Leave…me…alone…." she said raiding the blade up to her pushing it in her neck.
"Anzu…don't do…this" Malik tiredly spoke and took another step, the effects of the drugs making him so weak, but he knew he had to stop her. "You don't know…what you're…doing…." he try to negotiate.
"SHUT-UP!! HOW CAN YOU KNOW WHAT I WENT THROUGH" she shouted at him. Malik remain silent and continue walking, he was getting closer to her, but every step, he felt so heavy. "Stay…back Malik…leave me alone…" she snapped at him holding the blade against her throat but her arm was shaking. Malik ignored her warning "Anzu…I don't…but I know….what is like…to go through hell…to be confused….insecure…."
"Shut-up…shut-up…."
"Anzu….I'm sorry….for the pain…I put you through…but…..you have so much…"
"Shut-up…please shut-up" she cried not noticing her eyes were spilling with tears, her arm was shaking Malik saw this, he was right in front of her now. "Anzu…" he said softly She looked up and stared at him she was breathing hard and his hands came up. She try to jerk away "It's ok…" he whispered. One of his hands went to the side of her face, cupping her cheek his lavender eyes sadden at this.
"I forgotten…..how beautiful you are….your eyes…even now…are still alive…" he whispered to her. His other hand went up and gently grabbed her hand, which held the blade. He felt the blood trickled against his own fingers and cautiously grabbed it from her and quickly threw over the bridge to the river below.
"You see….it wasn't….so…hard…." his sight blacken and he felt his body go limp, the medication was taking a strong effect over him and he fell on to the ground.
"MALIK!?!?"
