Bakura looked to the ceiling deep in thought while he laid upon the couch, his arm rested beneath his head as a silence loomed around him.

"HOW COULD YOU KNOW WHAT'S HE GOING THROUGH!!"

"Are you in love with him or something?"

He closed his eyes at this and turned to a more comfortable position, he went back into the ring, allowing Ryou to take control again. Ryou sighed at this "I should apologize for how yami acted…or else, I'll never get any sleep" he thought to himself. He stood from the bed and begin to ascend up the stairs. He then her heard her cry out "Anzu?" he called. He received no answer and went up the stairs with much haste. He found himself at the door.

"Please….get off…" he heard her whisper in a frightened voice his internal alarm rang and his eyes widened . Without thinking, he slammed the door open entering into her bedroom. He only stop for a moment before a anger raised within him at what he saw.

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

He was in anger and disbelief at the image he saw before him; Malik was on top of Anzu her arms was pinned down by his chest while her legs were underneath his splayed legs while she laid there….trembling while it appeared he was straddling her. "B-Bakura…" she began not noticing it was Ryou and not his darker half. His eyes never took off of Malik "Y-You….." he began. He felt his Yami's rage which only added to the rage he had himself "He was going to rape her…after all she had been through…" he thought to himself. He suddenly clenched both fists, his head slightly bowed, his bangs covering his eyes and his shoulders shook from silent rage. His teeth were gritted never had he felt such anger as before.

\ Aibou…\

/ No…..he's mine!!/ Ryou snarled to his dark. Bakura was taken bit aback by the tone of the voice of his hikari and said nothing but smirked maliciously "This will be entertaining" he thought to himself.

Malik finally got his senses back and he immediately got off of Anzu, looking at the silent boy "It's not--" he began but he got cut off.

"How could you…after all she's been through……" Ryou spoke to himself. He looked up to face him his usually warm brown eyes were now dark and hard. "Ryou?" Malik ask a bit shock.

"BASATRD!!!" Ryou yelled. He charged at the blonde youth with his fist raised up, and it connecting to Malik's face, sending him stumbling back and impacting against the wall with a groan. Malik held his jaw in pain. Looking up a bit flabbergast at the boys actions. "After all she's been through!!!" he shouted at him and slugged him in the stomach, Maliks eyes widened in pain as a bit of saliva escaped from his mouth.

"RYOU STOP YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!" Anzu cried to him but he wouldn't listen. Malik look to the boy, now angered himself "DON'T YOU DARE ACCUSE ME OF SUCH THINGS!!" he yelled and lunged at the boy imprinting an assault on his own on the side of Ryou's face. This only fueled Ryou's own anger and both begin attacking each other like wild animals while Anzu could only watch in horror.

Sounds of various things fell and broke in the room as the two boys fought with each other, Malik slightly got the upper hand and slammed Ryou against the wall. He grasped his neck, lifting him up slightly against the wall, something came over him and he had a sudden urge to slowly squeeze the life out of him. Ryou try to struggle out of his grasp his eye slightly lidded.

"I'll wrangle the life out of you" Malik snarled but it wasn't even Malik anymore the voice was now deep and full of hatred. "Malik stop it!!" Anzu cried to him but Malik gave her no heed. "He's going to kill him…" she thought to herself. She ran to him trying to pry the boys hand off of Ryou's neck "Malik please stop…" she pleaded to him. Malik grunted at this and pushed her harshly away from them. He concentrated in Ryou seeing him struggling to inhale as much oxygen he could manage, his fingers squeezed tighter and a malicious grin played upon his face. His bangs slightly strayed and the familiar insane gleam lit his eyes.

Bakura took over and stared at Malik with murderous eyes "I'm going to kill you" he snarled and began prying his hands off his neck. Maliks grip wouldn't loosen "Long time no see tomb robber " he spoke. Bakura's eyes widened at this "That voice…." he thought but stopped short beginning to see black. The millennium ring began to glow and Malik's eyes widen, he was paralyzed. Bakura slid from his grasp and onto the ground. "Bakura!!" Anzu yelled out running to him. She was now kneeled against him "Are you all right?" she began about to check his neck.

"Don't touch me!" he snapped at her. He looked to Malik who as confused as to what happen except for a throbbing pain in his head. "M-Marik…" he thought to himself. He was in disbelief Marik took control…again and almost killed Ryou "Ra….." he thought to himself horrified looking to the crumpled heap of the Albino who was staring back at him with fury. Bakura sneered at him "I'm going to enjoy sending you to the shadow realm" he snarled to him, the ring glowing.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" Anzu screamed. Both boys turned to her. She looked to them tears threatening to spill "Just stop it…..please…" she whimpered. "You defend him, even after he almost killed us…and assaulted you?!" Bakura growled to her

"Bakura, it not like that, he and I tripped and we fell in that position" she tried to explain. Bakura snorted at this "It's true" Malik added weakly. The dark spirit glared at him "And why the hell were you visiting her this late in the hour!?" he snapped for him, impatiently waiting for an answer. Malik couldn't answer him, he couldn't tell them of the gruesome dream he had, that had frightened him so much he had to check on the girl on the spur of the moment. "I'm waiting" Bakura hissed though his teeth; the boy's silence was proving his assumptions to be correct. "I have no choice…" Malik thought and begin to say his reply.

"I wanted to talk to him" Anzu spoke. Bakura turned to her "About what?" he ask with suspicion. "Uh…" she began. "She wanted to talk about my condition, concerning my health" Malik spoke; it was half of the truth anyways. "Which is..?" Bakura ask, irritation coating his tone every second, Malik gave him a dirty look "That's none of your business" he replied a little harshly. Bakura suddenly put a arm around Anzu's waist, pulling him to her "She is my business and since you are conversing with her, than you are also my business" he retorted pulling her closer to him. "R-Ryou…" Anzu said, now seeing Ryou had taken control over again.

The two boys stared at each other, a knife could cut through the tense silence they withheld. Ryou finally spoke up "I don't know what you're going through, but, Anzu had been through a lot…" he began.

"Don't you think I know that!?" Malik snapped at him. Ryou looked at him slightly annoyed when he had been cut off but never the less continued "I will take Anzu's word for it but ,don't get any ideas" he finished, a slightly possessive tone taking over. Before Malik could reply Anzu had slip from Ryou's grip, picking herself up "I think you should go…..both of you…" she began.

"But" both boys began. Anzu look to them with tired and agitated eyes "Settle this later, I just want to get some sleep" she spoke, a bit of coldness taken to it. "But…what about…." Malik began. "Can we talk about this all some other time? Please, you two?" she ask and both reluctantly nodded. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come so late to talk about my problems…" Malik spoke. Anzu shook her head "It's all right Malik" she replied. Malik look to Ryou and a sympathetic but slightly hard stare escaped from him and begin climbing out of the window.

"Ma-" Anzu begin but was cut off when she felt herself being pulled away from the window "Leave him be" Ryou spoke. Anzu turned to him anger "What was that about!!" she snapped to him. Ryou looked away with a hurt look in his eyes "I was going back up to apologize for Bakura's actions….." he began.

"Did you know how much it hurt, to see you like that? The fear in your eye's? Trembling?" he spoke to her. Anzu eyes widened "Ryou…I…" she began her hand grazing against his arm. "Sorry….I didn't mean to yell at you, but….I've never saw you so angry…." she replied. "How was I suppose to react, when I see Malik on top of you" he said, a harsh tone setting in. Anzu sense this. "Ryou, Malik and I….we're not like that" she said. Ryou look to her "Really? It doesn't seem to be that way…" he replied to her.

"What's that suppose to mean!?" she snap. Ryou turned away opening , walking to the doorway "You should ask him yourself, sometime…." he replied before going down the stairs. Anzu followed him downstairs grabbing his arm "Ryou, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?!"

Ryou remain silent at this. He turned to her, grabbing her by the shoulders and gave her a swift kiss on the lips, he pulled away "Let's continue this tomorrow, it's late" he answered before opening the door and walking out into the cool night sky. Anzu gently closed the door. She felt herself slump to the ground, her knees came up as she hugged them against her chest and laid her head on top of her knees.

"What's happening to me? Don't I have feelings for Ryou and Bakura? But Malik….is he really just a friend?" these thought plagued her to no end until she finally dozed asleep which she remained.

"Ah, so you're back?"

"I needed some place to go…"

"what's wrong?'

"…….whoa….."

"what?"

"you sound like you care…"

Kaiba frowned at her, still resting on top f a tree branch "And?" he ask. "Well, it's strange" she began. Kaiba sighed at this "It's strange for one to act human? That's odd" he answer. "Sorry" she spoke and began walking towards him, she looked around it had been her second time coming to this place, this place so beautiful, with a crystal clear lake while abundant trees surrounded it like a gem in a rough.

She stopped and turned, looking out into the lake "Have you seen it yet?" he ask. Anzu turend to him "See what?" she began. "See what you're heart desires" he answered casually. She turn back to the lake and shook her head "I'm confused…" she spoke.

"Whether you love him? Or the other?"

She nodded.

Kaiba said nothing but jumped from the branch and walked towards her also looking at the river "I come here often; because I can escape…from everything…" he began. "Escape…."

"Yes, escape, sometimes the world outside becomes overbearing and one must salvage oneself, and we tend to create illusions, dreams, for we wish to escape so we can spare ourselves of the sorrow" he explain. His eyes slightly narrowed.

"Mama open your eyes mama….."

"So…you are Kaiba, aren't you?" she said. "If that's what you think…." he spoke looking at the lake. "I…don't know what to do, anymore……" she said. Her hand fell to her chest "Ryou and Bakura, I care for them so much….Malik too…"

"You care for them but which one do you love?" Kaiba ask. Anzu turned to him "I…" she beagn.

"Don't answer; because you don't have one" he reply to her. Anzu closed her eyes at this and rubbed her head grimacing a little at the throbbing. "Anzu?" Kaiba spoke. She begin having another flashback "I…I think…I'm remembering….." she said to him. Kaiba eyes slightly widened. The girl knees begin to wobble, he came to her, helping her keep balance.

"Crying I hear crying….I think that's me…" she whispered. Flashes came to her; the bed, the restraints, her nude body, it was flashing all of it, in all the while, the echo of her sobs continued. She begin to shake as she felt herself reliving the exact thing which happen so long before….she gave a soft cry.

"Don't….don't go any further, if you can't withstand it…." Kaiba spoke. She opened her eyes and tiredly looked at him "Seto…." she began. "What did you just call me?" he ask. "Seto….what did Gozaburo do to you, that made you so distant…..?" she suddenly ask. Kaiba turned away from her. Anzu looked to him "Please? It's not fair…."she spoke.

"He…..sold my soul, that's the only thing I can say" he answered. He sat her unto the ground with him now looking the lake which cast of the reflection of the settling sun. "Anzu why did you stop him?" he suddenly ask. She gave him a look "Why, did you save my life?" he ask again. Anzu turned to the lake "I couldn't let him do it" she reply to him. "Why?"

"Because, I couldn't let Yuugi have the burden of taking a life to those extremes….." she answered to him. "I see" he spoke. "You're going to remember soon, will you?"

Anzu remained silent at this.

"It's ok, to be afraid…." he suddenly said. She turned to him but she was now alone she hugged herself as the sun settled into the trees.

Malik let out a long sigh as he walked through the lonely city, in the dead of night. "What the hell was I thinking?' he thought to himself frustrated.

You were thinking about screwing her brains out Malik

"Shut-it you sicko" he growled, receiving Mariks chuckle as a response. "It isn't far from the truth" his dark purr to him. Malik ignored him, or at least tried to, as he walk to wards the hotel. He growled again as he heard his dark taunting "No, I can't let him get to me.." he thought to himself.

"You can't ignore me forever Malik, like you can't ignore the fact that no one will ever consider to love you or even be your friend for that matter"

"Quiet" he snapped. Marik chuckled at this "Why so harsh? Oh yes, because I ravaged your object of affection, Anzu?" he teased; he knew the girl always hit a string in the boy. Malik clench his hand in a fist. Marik chuckled at this lowly and decided to torment his light "She tasted so sweet , even her blood was delectable" he spoke.

Malik shuddered at this "Stop it" he whispered.

"Everything tasted so sweet, her flesh, her blood, her fear, tongue, all of it, but, from within how ever, she was delicious"

Malik gritted his teeth hearing this. "Bastard" he said through gritted teeth. "You are one to speak Malik, you would have done the same" his dark argued. "How dare you…" Malik began to say in a rage. His dark laughed at this "Do not deny it Malik, you want her so badly don't you? Just seeing her makes you writhe to touch her to feel her naked body against yours, doesn't it?"

"Quiet…"

"I'm just saying what you feel, you cannot deny it, I am you, I know all your darkest secrets because I am the embodiment of YOUR desire, anger and rage!" he continued. "I am nothing like you!!" Malik snapped. Malik stop

"N-Nani!?!" he spoke to himself. His eyes wide as he saw the oncoming flashes before him. He collapse to his knees, not noticing the thunder booming in the distance, heeding it's warning of oncoming showers soon.

"N-No…." he spoke before falling to the ground unconscious.

"Why? Why are you doing this?"

"Please, don't…why?"

"What the……"

Sobs echoed around the room, quick images of the surrounding flash. The room, the bed, the strapped hands against the railing. Anzu cries were now reduced to whimpering her eyes were lidded, the tears had stop falling as her body shook. Right their she had given up, and allowed for all to happen. Her body moved as he thrust into her, her body was bleeding blood from the fresh cuts he made all over her body. She was in a dazed, only looking to the ceiling, feeling him against her. "Yuugi…..Jounouchi……" she whispered. His grunts grew heavier as he made the advances more harder; her eyes winced at this and she bit her tongue in stifling a moan.

Her eyes begin to water "It….hurts….." she whispered to herself. She let out a cry when she felt him sucking on one of the wounds, reopening it and drawing out fresh blood. She gasped a little just feeling it, and closed her eyes "Please make it stop, please" she prayed but it went unanswered. Her body felt so hot, it was unbearable, the waves hit her, begging her to enjoy it, but she refused. Her mind screamed out against it and wishing for it to stop, only stop.

She let out a gasp, she felt something surged through her, her frame shook, and a whole new set of tears suddenly form, she knew what happen.

He spilled himself within her.

No one could hear her cries, no one, she broke, shattered, yes, that what she was now shattered, she allowed him to win, how simple was it, to just give in. She only cried now still feeling him continue "Why?" she ask and received no answer.

"Why……"

The tauk fell to the ground. Isis collapse onto the floor, her arms holding herself up, her eyes were wide as she held her mouth as in an attempt to stop the bile surging itself forcefully towards her mouth. Tear began to form as he shoulders shook "Ra……no….." she manage to speak. She had just received a phone call from Anzu much to her surprise.

FLASH

"Hello?" Isis spoke into the phone. "Isis?" she herd a female voice answered. "Yes, this is her" she replied. "This is Anzu, I was just wondering if Malik came back yet" she said. Isis's eyes slightly widened "What do you mean?" she ask.

"Well, he came to my house earlier today, I was calling to see if he came home" she explained. Isis was in a panicked daze but immediately calmed her self. "no, he hasn't came back yet" she answer.

"I see, thank you Isis" she said. "Wait" Isis said.

"Yes?"

"Why did Malik come see you?" she ask. "I….I guess he had a bad dream he wanted to talk to me about" she answered. "Thank you Isis, bye"

"Anzu-"

*bbeeeeeeeee*

With a sigh Isis place the phone back on the receiver, a worried frown crossed her features "Malik, should I start looking for him? He will come back soon, I will wait for a few minutes, if he doesn't come I will start searching" she thought to herself. She stop short as she suddenly sense something, she turned to face her room and began to walk towards it. She went to the drawer and opened it, to find the tauk glowing "What is it?" she ask to herself "Is there something…you want me to see?" she spoke to it. The item only answered by glowing brighter. Isis picked it up and placed it around her neck. The light shone engulfing the room with it while she felt herself being transported through the past.

*FLASH*

The tears drop onto the carpet "Oh Ra….how could you……" she whispered to herself looking at the tauk.

"I'm so sorry……"
