Hiyo! Thanks to everyone who reviewed.

Last chapter:Nor Isis or Anzu could hold in this humor once Malik bounded across the room to dust some more. "Hahhaha!" Anzu laughed. Isis joined in and Malik turned around quickly.

"ISIS!"

Okay now, read and review! Ja!

Malik glared at Isis and Anzu, who sat across from him. Everytime they looked at him, or even glanced, they would go into fits of laughter. "Could we drop it?" He snapped, getting annoyed by the second.

"We....can't!" Isis choked out. Malik sighed.

"I'm sorry." Anzu said, holding her stomach. Malik looked at Anzu, as if he just noticed the girl was here. He stood up suddenly.

"I...should go." He said. Anzu watched sadly as Malik left for upstairs.

Isis took her hand. "He just needs time....a lot of it. It will be sometime before he comes down though, I left some chicken soup in his room."

Anzu nodded. "I just...feel like I didn't something wrong."

"I'm sure you don't regret it though." Isis pointed out. Anzu smiled and together they went back into the kitchen to talk some more.

Anzu groaned as she was shaken up from her sleep. "No..leave me alone." She snapped. "Go away!"

"Anzu." Anzu shot up from her bed. She could reconize that voice in her sleep.

"Malik?" She asked, nervous about his sudden calmness. That wasn't like him, he would have gave her a smart remark for her own. "What are-"

Anzu shut up and enjoyed the sudden taste of his lips. Arms embraced and tounges met. The world seems to have evolved around them, time stopping, heart beating. It was a dance game, filled with rythms and beats, and they were damn good at it. It seemed like time wouldn't stop for them anymore and the game was ending, and the broke of the kiss finished the game. There was a moment of silence, for Anzu couldn't see a thing in the pitch dark.

"Malik?" She whispered.

"What." He grumbled at her. Anzu smiled. THAT was the Malik she knew.

"Nothing." She said. "Where are you?"

She felt Malik suggle into the covers with her. "Here." His simple reply was and with that, the two drifted into sleep.

From the doorway, Isis smiled as she heard the two breathe in the same motion. She tiptoed back to her room and shut the door, just like a thief and her jackpot.

"My food isn't posionous!" CLANG! Anzu woke up in suprise. She could hear Malik sit up as well. She turned to him, a confused look on her face.

"What was that?" She asked.

"Who cares." He moaned, diving back into his pillow. Anzu smacked him slightly.

Isis appeared at the door way, still in her night gown. "Someone is here." She whispered. In her hand she held a small knife. Malik sat up again.

"Hey," He said nervously. "What the hell are you doing with that?!" Isis just rolled her eyes at his remark and beckoned them to follow her. They silently went downstairs and towards the kitchen, were the noise was coming from. Isis nodded and sprang infront of the door.

"STOP, ROBBERS!" she yelled, just to look very dumb infront of Yugi, Shizuka, Joey, and Mai. They stared at her, not sure what to do. Finally, Joey bursted out in laughter, earning him two smacks from two different girls. Anzu and Malik appeared behind Isis.

"Yugi?!" She said in suprise. "How did you get in here?"

Joey butted in before Yugi could say anything. "What is HE doing here?!" He said, pointing an accusing finger at Malik. Shizuka and Mai sheilded there eyes from Malik's very revealed body, seeing as he only had grey boxers. Anzu sheilded her eyes as well, blushing.

Malik just smirked and flicked Joey off. "I live here now." He informed them.

"What?" Mai asked, dropping the pan she had in her hand. Isis caught it before it could drop. Everything seemed to happen at once. Everyone talked at the same time, flooding Anzu with questions.

"STOP!" Everyone's head turned to the other doorway as Bakura gave them a look of annoyance.

"What is HE doing here?" Joey asked.

"We invited him." Shizuka reminded Joey. "At least, we invited Ryou." She shrugged. Joey sighed.

It took everyone a while to settle down. Joey got into two fights, one with Malik and one with Bakura. They both ended the same though, with Shizuka telling him to stop and Mai giving him a lecture about anger managment. Once everyone found a stop in the living room, they explained everything they needed to know.

"So we looked under the mat infront of the door and opened it up." Yugi finished. Isis crossed her arms, still in her night gown and still holding the knife.

"It still would have been nice to know you were going to come." She said stubbornly.

"Scary..." Joey muttered from the side of his mouth. "Anyways, yo Anzu! Are you coming with us on the road trip?"

Isis and Malik looked confused. "Road trip?" Isis asked. Yugi nodded.

"We were all planning to go to New York." He explained. Anzu took a glance at Isis. Ever since that powerful kiss last night, she felt a bit guilty about her plan. "You and Malik can come too, if you want."

Isis smiled. "That would be great Yugi. I needed to go anyways, there is a dance being held in one of the museums."

Mai tossed her locks of hair aside. "I heard of that. It's suppose to be formal, right?"

Anzu got were this conversation was going. She kept her head low. Malik gave one glance at her and nudged her. "You afraid." He asked, covering the sympathy in his voice. Anzu shook her head.

"Why should I be?" She asked. Malik shrugged.

"I thought you were going to tell them, that's all." He said.

"Tell us what?" asked Bakura, easdropping. Everyone turned there heads to Malik and Anzu. Anzu glanced at Malik, not knowing what to do.

"Tell you that we are together." Malik said calmly, as if these kind of things were nothing. Anzu mind jumped. They were together?!

Everyone stared, again. "It's rude to stare." Malik said, getting annoyed.

Joey stood up, jaw dropping to the floor. "WHAT?!"

Anzu gave a meek nod, afraid of what her friends might think. The little voice in her head spoke up. "Why should you care what your friends think? They're not the one's who can tell you who to see." It said, busting Anzu with the encouragement she needed.

"YEAH!" Anzu said loudly. Malik looked at her.

"What?" Malik asked. Anzu stood up, taking Malik's hand so he stood up with her.

"Guys, I know you must think I've gone crazy, but I...like Malik. So, if you have a problem with it, I'm sorry!" She said.

"We have no problem with it, Anzu." Shizuka assured her. "It just came as a shock to us, that's all."

Mai turned to everyone. "Right?"

Bakura grunted, Yugi nodded, Joey just crossed his arms, and Isis gave them a smile. Malik snorted with impactinces.

"Can we sit down?" He asked. Anzu nodded.

"So," Mai asked, amused. "When did this happen?"

"This one time."

"What one time?"

"A time."

"What time?"

"A time. " Mai glared at the stubborn Malik. She wasn't getting anywhere soon. Yugi finally stood up.

"I think we should go pack now." He suggested. "We leave tommorrow."

After everyone said goodbye and left, Isis went upstairs to change while Malik and Anzu sat on the couch.

"Like?" Malik said suddenly. Anzu looked at him.

"What?"

Malik crossed his arms. "You said you liked me."

Anzu patted his arm. "That's a good thing."

"I know that!" Malik said. "I just didn't know you LIKED me."

"Well, I didn't know WE were TOGETHER."

"I thought we were."

"Then I guess we are."

Silence.

"So do I have to act like it?" Asked Malik.

"What?"

"You know, acting all..." He gave a disgusted face. "lovesick."

"No, I don't think so." Anzu said simply, not knowing how to approach that.

"Are you going to act like that?"

"No."

"Even better."

"I think I should start changing."

"For what?"

"I can't go out in my sleeping clothes and you can't go out in your boxers."

"Watch me." Anzu laughed.

"Whatever, and don't come inside."

"Don't I get a kiss?"

"No."

"You suck." Malik commented. Anzu frowned. "Hey, I didn't say I wasn't going to stop commenting."

Anzu rolled her eyes, standing infront of Malik. He looked at her. "What?" He asked. "You want something?"

"Breakfast? And a kiss?" Anzu said meekly.

"One, I can't cook. Two, you said no."

"You suck." Anzu shot at him. She ran upstairs, happy she could shoot a remark back at him. Malik glared at her.

"I hate you." He called after her.

"I know!"

"Road trip!" Joey and Tristan whooped excitedly. Everyone was parked infront of Anzu's from yard, throwing suitcases into the trunk, and trying to find a decent car arrangement. Malik lifted his only bag into Isis car, the only person he could trust not to hide it. Anzu was driving in Mai's car, along with Isis. Malik and Bakura would drive in Isis's car, while Joey would take Shizuka, Tristan, and Yugi.

"Come on, Mai! You don't need that much clothes!"

Mai threw her last box of stuff inside and glared at Joey. "Wheeler, shut up." Mai quickly threw herself inside her car and Anzu started the engine.

"LET'S GO!" The girls said in unison, speeding off before any of the boys could catch up.
