See You Again

"I want you to go back, into Anzu's past" Malik said. Isis eyes widened at this "Anzu? Why?" she ask. Malik slightly averted his gaze, but he knew that he would have to tell her, so she would understand. "Four months ago, something happen to Anzu, a man raped her" he began. Isis stood there in shock and disbelief as a hand went over her mouth "Anzu…" she could only speak out.

"She can't remember her face. So I want to use the tauk, to go back there and see who did this, so I will make him pay" he explain. Isis remain silent at this her brother now had a serious expression upon his features. "Does she know you're doing this?" she ask.

"No"

SLAP!!

Malik look at his sister in confusion, holding his right cheek while she look at him angered. "Malik…what gives the right….to do this, to her?" she ask, anger coating each word. "But--" he began and turned away. He clenched his fists "Isis," he began.

"Malik, I know you love her but, you're being too rash, your getting your emotions get the best of you" Isis explained to him. Malik look to her slightly angered "Then what are we suppose to do? We can actually find out who the fucker who did and bring him to justice and Anzu, she'll be at peace, knowing that we took care of him" he exclaimed.. Isis look away "Isis, you know that I'm right, I need to know who did this to her" he pleaded.

"Doesn't she also need to know?" she suddenly said. Malik remained silent at this . "She's been through enough as it is" he added. "Malik, you can't just force problems to go away, sooner or later, she will have to face her demon" she spoke.

"Like you are doing"

Malik's eyes slightly widen, hearing this. "Then what do we do then?" he ask. Isis gave her brother a sympathetic look "Be there for her" she simply answered. Malik turned away again "But…it's not fair….why?" he manage to say. Isis closed her eyes at this "Malik, in this life, nothing is never fair, nor is right. But, in the deepest depths of darkness, if you reach your hand , then a spark of hope will light anew" she said.

"I never gave up on you, no matter how dreadful it looked, because I knew that you were my brother and I would bring you back to me, to the light"

"………..sister, thank you" he said.

"I….I want to be there for her, I want to help her…." he spoke. Isis embraced her brother "I know, I know how much you want to help, how much you want to atone" she whispered to him. Malik suddenly clasped his head "I'm going to sleep" he quickly spoke. Isis nodded to him. He stepped away from her hold and went to his room, while Isis only stood their in a pensive silence.

"Anzu…." she thought. Her heart ache for the girl, but she knew there was truth to his words but it was not Malik's choice to make, it was Anzu's.

"I pray. That she will get through this….."

Malik, fell to his bed, looking at the ceiling, deep in thought, while his head rested on top of his arms. He closed his eyes, just hearing his breathing. "Isis, may be right, I have no right to do this, demo…..Anzu…."

"Even if it was the result of him raping me, I would have still wanted to keep my child, I would have love my son, with all my heart"

Malik gritted his teeth at this, at the injustice that Anzu had to face "No one…should deserve to have that inflicted upon them…" he thought to himself. He turned in his bed, trying to sleep but the thoughts haunted him, never ending.

"Like she could ever love you Malik!"

Malik sneered at Mariks voice. "Quiet" he snapped, and received a chuckle from his dark.

"Hit a nerve, have I ? Face it. You will never have her, you are nothing to her, you can never know love and never will, like she would want to be with you. Especially if she found out, you were harboring me within you"

Malik remained silent at this, trying to deafen out Marik's taunts. "That's enough" he said hiding his head while laying on the bed.

"You're nothing but a crazy, no one will ever love you. Even your own sister fears you"

"KEEP HER OUT OF THIS!!" he barked suddenly. He gritted his teeth now heaving angrily. "Leave me alone" he spoke weakly. Marik laughed at this, watching his light writhe and suffer form his words "Sooner or later, I will find a way out" he drawled to him.

"Like hell you wont!!"

"Face it Malik, the medication is not working anymore, and when you least expect it, I will come out and you will never get your body back!! Then, I will kill little Yuugi and his friends painfully…slowly…"

Maliks eyes widened at this "I won't allow it!" he defended. He forced Marik away, gasping tiredly for a bit, he turned to lay to his back, now facing the ceiling. "How long…can I do this? Until…" he stop he was so tired all of the sudden as his eyes bean to droop and his body felt so heavy. As he went to sleep the flashback of him kissing Anzu came to him; he imagined it, feeling the warmth against his lips.

"Anzu…." was his last thought, before going to bed.

Ryou awoke, hearing the sounds of sobbing upstairs "Anzu?" he thought and got off of the couch, following the sound of the cries. His feet made a gentle padding sound as he continued upstairs, towards her room. He opened the door "Anzu" he whispered and received more cries as a response. He came beside her near the bed and she suddenly jerked awake and sat up, her breath heavy. "Anzu" Ryou began. Anzu turned to him and embraced him tightly, making him fall onto the bed with her.

"Anzu, what's wrong?" he ask. "It was the dream I had, when I was strapped down and…" she stop, feeling his arms go around her, pulling her to him. "It's all right, I'm here, don't worry" Ryou spoke. Anzu sighed heavily at this, her head resting on one of his shoulders "I thought you went home with the others" she said softly. "Yuugi asked us to stay with you for the night. In truth, I would have stayed, even if he did not ask me" he replied.

"Yuugi…..he must be in so much pain…." Anzu trailed off. Ryou closed his eyes at this, he knew she was right Yuugi hid it under that mask of happiness but, he felt as much pain as Anzu had. "We'll make it up to him…" he whispered and Anzu nodded at this.

"Anzu?"

"Yes, Ryou?" she answered. Ryou looked into her eyes and cupped her cheek. Anzu slightly blushed at this "Please Ryou…" she begin slightly turning her head. Ryou slightly sadden at this "I understand…" he trailed off. Anzu jerked to him "No, it isn't that, it's just I….I can't be the woman you want….right now…." she explained. She hugged herself "So much has happened, and I'm just starting to piece myself back….so until I come as a whole once again, I can't….I'm sorry…." she said.

"Is there someone else?"

"What?" Anzu ask. "Is there someone else?" Ryou repeated. Anzu's thoughts suddenly went to Malik and when he kissed her, but she thought it was Bakura, not him, he was just a close friend now. "No…." she said. "If it's Bakura you want…" he began. Anzu looked to him slightly hurt "I care about you both unconditionally" she snap at him unintentionally. "Sorry" he spoke. Anzu arms went around him "I should apologize…" she trailed off, just resting her head against his back.

Ryou felt himself being laid down on the bed with her, he said nothing at this. "I could have never made it this far, if you and Bakura didn't come that day.." She whispered to him. "I was so alone, hurt, despair…it consumed me all, but I felt someone pick me up and cradled me, saying soothing things in a language I couldn't understand.."

"Bakura…"

"Then you came to comfort me, you told me not to cry, because I was safe here….with you…." Ryou slightly blushed at this. She was besides him, laying, she put her head on his chest and heard his soft beating heart. Ryou closed his eyes at this "I miss her, my sister…" he spoke. Anzu looked up to him "She died…a long time ago but still, I miss her" he explained. "I'm sorry…" Anzu began. Ryou lowered his head down and softly press his lips against her own, just content with feeling the warmth of her. Anzu just closed her eyes in response allowing him to kiss her softly.

Malik……

Anzu eyes widened and she pulled away abruptly. Ryou opened his eyes and looked at her a little surprised, confused, and a little bit hurt. Anzu turned away at this "I…" she began. Ryou stood from the bed and turned to her, his face hiding his emotions "It's all right Anzu, I shouldn't have done that" he said. "What's wrong with me?" She thought to herself.

"Have you seen Malik lately?"

Anzu slightly stiffened at this "Y-Yeah" she stuttered. "How is he doing?" Ryou ask a little curious. "He's doing better" she answered shortly. "Anzu, I won't get mad. If you've been seeing him" he said. Anzu eyes widened at this "He knows?" she thought to herself. Ryou nodded his head, as if answer her mental question.

"Yes, Isis told me about it" he explained. "I'm sorry, I haven't told you or the guys…" she apologized. "I do admit, I'm a bit hurt for you not telling me, but, it's because I worry about you. Malik, he may--"

"Hurt me? Don't be ridiculous Ryou, how can you say that" she retorted without knowing. She looked down to the sheets a look of sadness swept to her face, remembering what almost happened at the bridge today. "He's changed, can't you and Bakura see that, or Jou and the others?" she said. Ryou averted his gaze at this "I know, but, how can you trust him so quickly? After all he's done to us?"

"I could ask the same about Bakura, could I?" she defended. Bakura suddenly took over looking at her slightly aggravated "Listen girl, I have enough of this attitude of yours and your damn sympathy towards that maggot!" he snarled at her. Anzu looked at him, her eyes in anger "HOW COULD YOU KNOW WHAT'S HE GOING THROUGH!!" she yelled to him, which took him by surprised.

Her blue eyes were in anger and hurt " Don't think you're any better than him Bakura, he has suffer as much as you or I!!" she spoke. Bakura snorted at this "Are you in love with him or something?" he said solemnly, piercing her with his dark crimson brown eyes. "Of course not!!" she retorted. "If you knew, how much pain, guilt, he's been living with…." she trailed off, remembering their talks with sadness and pity.

"What would happen if I just let myself fall into the water below, and let the current take me, would you care?" he blurted out. Anzu eyes widened as she saw him jump over the railing holding onto it, in the same manner as she herself did, now leaning dangerously away from the railing.

"If I close my eyes and let go, what would you do?" he ask his voice now heavy and grave. "Malik, stop, this isn't funny" Anzu pleaded and he gave her a sad smile.

"Your sweet Anzu, but cruel….you didn't answer my question"

Bakura only snorted at this. "You selflessness sickens me sometimes" he snapped to her. Anzu remained silent at this before speaking again "You don't have to stay, you can leave if you want" She spoke softly hitting a slight string in Bakura's chest. He only let out a long sigh, starting to leave the room "If you need anything…We'll be in the living room" he spoke before exiting her room.

/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*

"What's that sound? Is someone crying?" Malik thought to himself. He began to walk, following the sounds of the cries. It was dark all around him but he could still hear the crying. "Who's there? Someone, answer me" he called out. The crying cease to continue and he heard a dark chuckle around the void. IN the darkness, he manage to see someone running towards him.

"Malik!!" His eyes widened at the familiarity of the voice "Anzu!?" he called out and saw the girl running to him, outstretching her hand. "ANZU!" he called out again, reaching his own to grabbed it but then, she went through him, like a ghost. "W-What!?" he thought to himself.

He stop as he found himself in a glass box "What the?" he thought. He begin pounding on the glass trying to break, but, it would not shatter. He saw the girl trip she look back, fear in her eyes "N-no…" she spoke. Malik noticed her fear and looked besides him, seeing Marik looking at her intently. Marik stared at the girl, blood lust in his eyes and he slowly lick his lips, walking to her.

Malik pounded on the glass harder, he then begin to slam into it "STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!" he yelled to his dark. Marik ignore his hikari's pleas, seeing the girl tremble he grabbed her by her shirt and licked the side of her face. Malik began cursing him in Egyptian, much to Marik's amusement. Mariks eyes glance to Malik, a grinned appeared to his face as he saw his hikari stop, only looking the expression on his face, indicating what he was thinking.

He ripped her clothes.

Malik heard Anzu scream out "ANZU!!" he shouted and began his assault on the glass box.

"I'LL KILL YOU!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!" he snarled to Marik. He kept slamming to the wall to the point his shoulder was bruised and bleeding, panting in anger and fear. Marik only chuckled at this and lick her neck while she let a whimper out. Her cries only made him more aggressive and he also began to divest himself of his clothing, while Malik could only look in horror.

"No…..no……" he said to himself as he heard her cry out and Marik grunting in satisfaction.

She stared at Malik, she never took her eyes off him, as his dark ravaged her, the tears running down her face. "Why…why are you doing this to her…." he spoke, it was barely audible. Marik turned to him licking his lips " I love to make you suffer" he spoke. He then took out the Millennium rod, which was now a knife and stabbed through her chest, her blood splattering onto the glass box which held Malik prisoner.

His eye's and faced pale and he began trembling as he saw her now lifeless limp body, while Marik drank from the wound in her chest.

"ANZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

Malik woke with a hard gasp bolting upright on his bed, the sweat beading from his forehead, if not all his body. He panting his eyes wide in terror. He cover his face with one of his hands "Oh Ra……" he spoke to himself. "I hate you…." he whispered; he knew Marik could hear him. "Why….Why couldn't I break free? Why couldn't I help her?" he whispered. The dream left him sleepless, he couldn't sleep after that ordeal. HE tremble at it, at what his dark did to her.

He needed to see her. He had to see her, now.

He stood from his bed and began to dress himself up. Carefully he sneaked to the living room, quietly opening the door and exiting. HE felt himself running, fear in his heart hysteria even; he needed to see her, he had to he didn't know why…but he had to see her. He found himself near her house, much to his surprise he didn't noticed how fast he ran to see her. He breath was short and fast as he regained breathe little by little. He went to the other side of her house, where her room was; he didn't want to wake up her parents. Like a cat, he climb the tree with no trouble at all and knocked on her window "Anzu, wake up!" he whispered loudly. He knocked on the window again, a little louder this time. He saw Anzu's head peep out from the curtain and her eyes widen "let me in" he urged in a hasty voice. She disappeared, unlocking the window and allowing him to enter her room.

"Malik, what's wrong?" she ask. She began to worry, looking to him, his face was all distress, like he awoken from a horrible nightmare; she had no idea how right she was. "I…I had to see you" he finally spoke. Anzu slightly blushed at this "W-What?" she ask. "I…"I…" he began still gasping for air.

"Malik, calm down, you need to rest for a bit" she spoke grabbing a hold of his arm and leading him to sit on the bed. One of his legs trip on her, sending them both falling on the bed; Anzu on the bottom, Malik on top. She let out a surprised cry. Both stared at each other, Malik was still breathing hard; they were in a compromising position now.

Anzu became stiff for a moment remembering that this was how he straddled her, before he began to cut her flesh with a knife. Malik was paralyzed himself, his body unable to take what his mind was ordering it to do. "Please….get off…" she whispered, now trembling starting to remember another flashback. Before he could even move the door to her room slammed opened.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO HER!!"
