Chapter 10 of Rain's Pitbull

After the rain lifted and dawn was upon them all, Malik leaned against Anzu's shoulder asleep. Everyone had gone home and Malik went with Anzu this time. She stayed up to comfort him and then stayed awake thinking after he was asleep but also fell asleep after time. She now sat awake picture what had happened. She had stayed behind with Serenity. When the guys came come after finding Malik, Malik was covered in mud and so wet from the rain as well as a few minor scraps from when he fell. What bothered her was a terrified look on his face like he had seen a ghost. Malik started to stir and slowly opened his eye as though the little bit of light was burning them. He sat up next to her and rubbed his eyes before looking at her and Faller next to her. She looked at Faller and remembered something he had done. Last night he had biten Malik's wrist. He bit it because Malik wanted him to but never spoke a word about anything like that, infact he hadn't spoken in all since yesterday.

Anzu: "Malik?" Malik looked at her. "How come you haven't spoken?" He looked at the ground. "Malik. I know something's wrong. Please tell me." He shook his head.

Malik thinking: "I can't tell her when everyone found me yesterday and my dream. When everyone found me they looked like Rain's minions. And that sound..."

"Malik?" He looked up expecting to see Anzu but instead Rain was there. "Malik, I will kill you for what you and Pentan did to me. Now I'm like him without a physical body. I'll get you don't worry."

Anzu: "Malik!" He shook his head and saw Anzu again. She was leaning close to him. "You don't have to be afraid of whatever it is your afraid of." She leaned closer and pressed her lips against his. They stayed like that for a few moments until someone knocked on the door, now of all times. Anzu got up and answered it leaving Malik blushing and surprised, yet strangely happy. Anzu: "Hey Malik! We are all going somewhere! Come with us!" Things like "Come with us" and "together" were still new to Malik because he had been a tomb keeper for so long mostly alone. He ran to the others.

Later while they are walking

Malik: "Where are we going?" Anzu was happy to see Malik speak again.

Anzu: "Ya, guys where are we going?" Joey and Tristan smirked.

Joey: "It's a secret till we get there?" They both were laughing.

Yugi: "You guys scare me sometimes."

Duke: "They scare all of us."

Serenity: "Oh comon guys, they're just playing!"

Tristan: "No we it's really a secret. We aren't telling."

Serenity: "Why not!?" Joey: "You'll see."

When they got there, they were standing in front of an old looking house. Paint was coming off and windows were broken.

Anzu: "This is your big surprise!!"

Duke: "This sucks."

Serenity: "I'm scared."

Joey: "Anyone who's too chicken to go in can stay out here."

Tristan: "Well I'm going in."

Yugi: "Guess I will too."

Serenity: "I won't."

Duke: "I'll stay here with Serenity."

Tristan: "Then I'll..." Joey covered his mouth.

Joey: "Too late you said you were going in already!" Joey dragged him toward the house."

Malik: "I guess I'll go."

Anzu: "Why?"

Malik: "How bad could it be? I've been in worse places..." He remembered the shadow realm and Anzu knew this.

Anzu: "We'll I guess I can't leave you guys go in alone so I'll have to go to keep you all out of trouble." They started running after Joey, Tristan, and Yugi. They slowly opened the two creaking doors. Faller whimpered a little and tried to get away before Malik picked him up.

Joey: "Isn't it cool!?"

Tristan: "Would have been cooler if I stayed with Serenity."

Joey: "Will you shut up?! I mean can't you talk about that when your not around me, her brother?!"

Tristan: "I could go back."

Joey: "Fine! I'll hang out with Anzu, Yugi, and Malik!" Tristan left before he finished his sentence. Joey sweatdropped. Faller started barking. They all started walking into the house which was huge. It looked like something out of a book. They were in a great hall. Faller started squiggling as Malik tried to hold onto him but was unsuccessful and Faller ran down a different hall.

Malik: "Faller!" Malik ran after him. They both disappeared because of the total lack of light. What was worse was that the door behind them closed and glanced at it. Now they had no idea which way Malik and Faller went. They didn't hear them either.

Anzu: "Great surprise Joey! Now we are lost and stuck in this creepy house!"

Joey: "Ok, calm down you go that way and I'll..."

Anzu: "No! We are sticking together! Haven't you ever seen horror films! When people split up they always die one by one!"

Joey: "So we'll die together?"

Anzu: "Oh shut up and help me find Malik."

Outside

Serenity: "Hey guys why don't we go do something?" She turned around and they were looking at each other pissed off fighting over Serenity. When they noticed she was looking at them they stopped and tried to act like nothing happened.

Duke and Tristan: "Sure!" They all walked off not know what was going on inside the house.
