DIS: Welcome back to 'Egyptian Emotions'! It's been awhile, but I'm back and ready to Mambo!
Malik: W...T...F...?
DIS: Don't ask, Malik. It'll only confuse you. Trust me.
Rayne B: Ah, like always, you're the first person to review. YAY! Yep, I thought everyone would get confused if I didn't explain the Egyptian Gods and everything. So, yes, you are very welcome! Grins How did you find out it was Malik/Anzu? OO OR is it that obvious?
fOX-SPIRIT AKA Y.V: And right you are my friend! I was watching Disney's 'Aladdin' and came up with whole new ideas for chapters of my fics and for plain fics, period! I think I'll make a fic called 'Malik' and it'll be based on 'Aladdin'. Why in Ra's name and the God's above am I babbling about this? (I feel like a preppy. Seriously. They are ALWAYS yapping about some shit...) Thank you for the compliment on my chapter. Now, on I go
Lunar Dragon 209: The chapter was awesome?! I feel so happy! And I also feel very chatty right now! I dunno why, maybe because I was being really talkative this afternoon in block, but I dunno. Aw, my Ra! I am using up all of the space, by Horus' sake! Yeah, I liked the part about Malik and Anzu! Thanks go to Tasha3 for inspiring it to me!grins
BlindFate: I think I reviewed that fic, but I can't be completely sure, no I am! I am quite sure indeed! Yeah, but I'll re-check to see if I did, and even if I did already, I'll review again! (If I can that is) See ya soon!! I hope you enjoy this late chapter! Even though I don't see why you wouldn't but, hey, whatever!
Sb1: Yeah, homework that's not at school or given by a teacher would put me in the category of being a 'nerd' or a 'geek', but no one really has called me one for some reason. Even though I read about a bazillion hours a day! I mean, I got the highest reading minutes in my class and can finish a chapter book in about less than 3 hours! Isn't that weird? I never get a chance to do my homework in the morning, because I take an hour shower, then I eat breakfast and then I pretty much get dressed and do my hair, which takes, oh about an hour. Then at 7:30 (I get up at 5:00) I go and catch the bus. Ahem, anyways, glad you loved the chapter! Yes, the part with Anzu and Malik was indeed cute an funny at the same time, no?grins
Maslerne: You read every single fic of mine? That's nearly impossible! Mainly because I have, what, 37 fics?sweat drops But anyways...YAY! They rock!!!does a little dance Sorry for not updating sooner, really I am! I'm so happy that this fic is good! It's one of the one fics that I am putting my work into if you believe that! And ya know what? It's all thanx to Malik Fan 03, who gave me this idea! Isn't that great?! Anywho, how did you know as well that this was Malik/Anzu?! Or was all the hints and pieces coming together?shrugs Luv ya gurl!
DIS: Now that I'm done yapping my poor little head off—
Malik: Poor little head? My Ra woman, you're far from poor!!
DIS:death glare Go jump off a cliff, Malik.
Malik: No thank you.smirk Where's Anzu?
DIS: Here's chapter 12. READ NOTE BELOW.
NOTE: In a while I am about to finish all the fics I have planned and the last one will be the finale! I'll keep all the fics up and my account. And if a really good idea comes to me, then I'll try it out. ALSO! Read this book:
Mara, Daughter of the Nile
It's set in Ancient Egypt and is GREAT! Read it and you'll love it!
Anzu watched in horror as Malik and the other men fought angrily with their Millennium Items. And many times she worried of their heads not being on their shoulders for much longer.
"Ladies!" Niko called to them, fending off some of some of the Shadow Warriors. "Hurry! Into the Oasis!" Anzu and Shizuka hurried towards the oasis. Niko followed them, turning every once in awhile to stab at a Shadow Warrior. They hid behind the bushes and trees and watched the fight.
"Oh, poor Seto!!" Shizuka breathed.
"Who cares about the priest?" Niko questioned curtly. Anzu glowered at him.
"Apparently not you." A voice drawled behind them.
"Bakura?!" Anzu exclaimed. "You should be out there!!"
"I had to come back and get my M. Ring, woman!!" Bakura barked at her. She winced and took a step back away from him.
"Bakura, where's Malik!?" Anzu coked out. It's not like I'm worried about him, Anzu thought to herself. I just think it would please my brother more if he were the one who killed Malik.
"Being an idiot as usual." Bakura said bluntly.
"What!!!" Anzu's eyes widened in terror.
"Relax. He's fighting off ol' Heishin. And I do mean old."
"Heishin?! He's not strong enough! Oh no, Malik!"
"You sound worried, Anzu, my dear." Niko sniggered.
"Shut up, pea brain!" Bakura snapped, his eyes narrowing. "And go and fight out there like a man!"
"Damnit, fine." Niko trailed off with Bakura towards the battle scene.
"Anzu...?" Shizuka murmured.
"Oh...My brother..." Anzu said, ignoring Shizuka's worried expression.
"Damnit, I can't keep this up!!" Shadi ground out. His usual soft complexions were twisted in anger and he could barely keep up with all the Shadow Warriors.
"Keep trying!" Simon called. "For out liege!"
A bit farther away from them, Malik was fighting furiously with Heishin. Where is Anzu? He thought.
"Anzu, are you well?" Shizuka asked. Anzu ignored her, yet again, scanning the battle field for Malik and Yami. She spotted Yami, but could not find Malik.
"...love with a thief."
"What?" Anzu whirled around and her eyes burned into Shizuka's.
"I said that it's quite unfortunate for you to fall in love with a thief. Malik, of all of them." Shizuka said sadly.
"I don't know what you're talking of Shizuka!" Anzu bit out harshly. She felt every piece of rage form those very words. She let out a deep breath.
"Anzu...Malik."
"What?"
"Malik." Shizuka pointed to Malik, who was burning up and getting dehydrated. He was pale and his moves were slow and clumsy.
"He'll die!" Anzu gasped. Good riddance then! I won't have to deal with that arrogant attitude of his! Anzu thought to herself. That insolent, sexy, seductive fool! Wait! Where did that come from?! Grr...How dare he be so...Wow. Anzu felt herself staring at him for a long moment and Shizuka watched her, glancing from her to Malik.
Oh boy. Shizuka thought, slapping Anzu's back promptly.
"Huh?" Anzu shook everything from her head. "We need to get him out of their!"
"But how, Anzu?"
"Hmm..." She glanced around. Her blue eyes soon found the rather large log. "Help me pick this up! We'll hurl it at Heishin. Or his head to be more exact."
"Right!"
The 2 went unnoticed by anyone and promptly hurled the log at Heishin's skull, knocking him unconscious, but not for long. Malik blinked in confusion. Where did that come from? He thought curiously. It was those wenches. Hye concluded.
"Malik, come on! Stop stalling!" Anzu and Shizuka literally dragged him deep into the oasis to the small lake.
"Drink." Anzu ordered.
"Who do you thihk you are telling me what to—"
"DRINK." Both of the ladies hissed at him demandingly. His eyes went as wide as saucers and he turned and drank some of the water.
"I'll be back. I want to check on Seto." Shizuka said.
Little bitches...Malik was thinking angrily. Anzu dipped a rag into the water and said, "Lie down."
"Why?"
"You're burning up." She said flatly, her eyelids drooping.
"Fine." HE lied down and Anzu ran the wet rag over his face, the cool water taking its effect.
"You know you're a moron, right?" Anzu drawled.
"You know I'll kill you next time you call me a moron, right?" Malik spat at her. Anzu sighed and rolled her eyes.
"I doubt it." She said, a small smile, threatening to escape.
"I beg your pardon?" Malik said, aghast.
"I doubt that you would kill me."
"Try me." Malik challenged.
"Ok...moron." There was a long silence. The only sound was the water flowing and Malik didn't even look like he was going to move. He just sort of...laid there.
"I hate you." Malik grumbled after a while. Anzu grinned and soon finished her job. Her hands plunged into the water, wetting the rag again.
"Take off your shirt." She said calmly. Inside, she felt butterflies in her stomach.
"WHAT!?! By Amon, are you crazy?!" Malik said, sitting up and clutching his shirt.
"Don't be stupid, Malik. Unless you want to jump bare naked into that lake, then you had better let me help you get less dehydrated." Anzu said in a strict, firm voice. Malik shuffled and looked around him.
"But...but...what if someone sees us...LIKE LAST TIME!?!" Malik boomed. Shizuka flinched as she heard his voice. She had checked on Seto and saw he was fairing fine.
"Oh stop being a wuss, Malik!!" Anzu lungd on top of him and pried his shirt off. Shizuka peered through the bushed and saw a miserable Malik, slumped on the ground. Anzu sat on top of him and wet his back and upper body.
Shizuka's brown eye's widened half their size. By Amon and the God's in the Heavens!! Shizuka thought, then let a giggle escape her lips. She had no idea Anzu thought of doing that with Malik! That naughty little virgin! I had no idea she thought dirty! What a perverted mind she has! Shizuka snuck off, deciding to leave the 2 lovebirds alone to strut their stuff.
"Malik, stop whining! You're starting to sound like a dog!!" Anzu snapped.
"Stupid whore..." Malik hissed under his breath.
"What was that you said?!" Anzu grabbed his chin and turned his face to hers. He seemed almost unphased by it all. Anzu eyed his face, staring at him, almost confused. She released him and stood up. "I'm leaving the rest up to you." Anzu spoke quietly.
"Sure. Whatever." Malik said in the same tone of voice.
"I'm going to check up on Shizuka," Anzu told him, glancing back slightly. "don't leave anywhere."
"Yes, mother." Malik said sarcastically. Anzu turned abruptly and Malik was smirking as he ran the wet rag over his tan, well-muscled chest. Anzu's face went red after seeing his biceps. She turned and hastily left.
What was up with her? Malik thought cluelessly.
Anzu breathing was quicker than usual and her heart was beating fast.
What just happened? She thought in horror, her pupils large. That look in his eyes...My Ra, what is it about those eyes of his?! I seemed immobilized! Anzu leaned on a tree, clutching her chest, where her heart was located. She closed her eyes, then remembered something: "If you weren't the key to the Pharaoh's destruction, I would have killed you long ago!" Malik's words rung throughout her head as she remembered when he had said that. But he ran after me...Didn't he? And surly he was sorry for what he said...after all I've done for him...? Right? Anzu's breath was rigid as she thought of it. Who am I fooling? He hates me, and I hate him! I'd be lucky enough for him to call us friends! Anzu shook her head, not wanting to think of it anymore. She heard a rustle behind her and gasped, turning around, her eyes wide in fear.
"Anzu! It's just me!"
"Isis!" Anzu exclaimed.
"Yes, I can't find my brother, where is he?"
"He's by the lake. At least that's where I left him..." Anzu's voice trailed off. She shook her head and forced a smile.
"Anzu...Is there something troubling you?"
"No. Nothing." Anzu lied expertly.
"Very well." Isis turned to leave to the lake, but paused and said, "Anzu, I am always here to help...Like a sister." Anzu looked bemused at what Isis said. Malik's elder sister gave a secret smile, then proceeded to see her brother.
I hope she got the hint. Isis thought. She saw Malik shrugging his shirt on. Isis sighed and said, "Malik."
Without looking up, he mumbled, "Isis..." Isis stared deeply into Malik's eyes and could see he was barely paying attention.
"I doubt Malik," Isis began. "that you are so interested in your shirt that you can barely answer me." Malik straightened, still not looking at his sister.
"What do you want, Isis?" Malik asked in a cold voice. Isis' eyes softened.
"What I want," Isis picked up his M. Rod. "is to ask a few questions that will stay in my mind, where no one can find them. The answers are secret and I will keep them secret."
"Very well, Isis." Malik said, snatching his rod from her and hooking it on his pants. "Fire away."
"Do you love Anzu?" Silence loomed between the 2. Isis felt the tension and repeated her question. "Do you love Anzu?"
A smirk danced on her younger brother's lips as he answered, "I was afraid you'd ask this." He shook his head. "I can't answer..." His voice trailed off and his brows knotted in confusion.
"Malik...?" Isis questioned.
I told Anzu that all she really was, was a weapon against the Pharaoh. That I would have killed her when I had the chance if she wasn't...And even though she is the enemy, she still helps Bakura and me. I don't get any of it. It seems almost as though she doesn't care about what side she is. She's way too kind for my tastes, but...
"Malik!"
Malik snapped out of his thoughts and looked up. "Huh?"
"Do you?" Isis' eyebrows shot up, inquiringly.
"I...Don't know...Really." Malik mumbled, avoiding eye contact with his sister. He knew she'd know the answer before he did. He hated it when she did. It almost disgusted him.
"Malik, I think you hurt her." Isis' voice was blunt and to the point.
"What?"
"You're hurting her. You need to let her go—"
"She's not going anywhere before I get what I want, you get that, Isis?!!" Malik stood up and turned, heading back.
"Malik..."
"I don't have time for you, Isis. I have other more important things to take care of, got it?"
"But Malik!"
"No buts!"
"She loves you." Those three words paralyzed Malik and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't. He inhaled a deep breath and said, "Good for her." Isis' jaw dropped open and she was in shock. Her brother couldn't be that cold, could he?
"Isis." Malik nodded in a dismissed way.
"Malik." Isis nodded towards him, slightly horrified. Malik left in a hurry, towards where he would go and find his friends, Bakura and Niko.
Anzu felt a warm body collide with hers. "Oh, Malik." Anzu wiped the tears off her face, hoping he wouldn't notice, which he didn't.
"Hello, Anzu." Malik said gruffly. "She loves you." Malik shook his sisters' words out of his mind, wishing she'd just drop six feet under.
"Going back out there?" Anzu made a hand movement towards the Shadow Warriors shrieks as Millennium magic hit them painfully.
"Yes." Malik answered, eyeing her tear stained face. "Why is your face wet?"
"Sweat." Anzu replied quickly. Too quickly for Malik.
"Have fun watching Heishin and his moronic fools die with him." Malik said, bypassing her. Anzu whirled around.
"Malik!!"
"Yes?" He turned, his dirt-blond hair, whipping on his tan face. Anzu stared at him before saying, "Be careful." Malik looked at her concerned expression and his lips pursed together. He walked back to her and wrapped his lean arms around her.
"I will. For you." Tears formed in Anzu's crystal eyes. She buried her head in his chest.
Isis traveled back to help everyone with her M. Tauk. She was depressed, but then, seeing Malik and Anzu, she brightened slightly. She took a detour, deciding not to bother them, and bumped into Shizuka.
"Oh, Isis!" Shizuka whispered. "Seto is doing so fine!"
"Good, good."
"Anzu, why do you cry?" Malik murmured into he chocolate brown hair.
"Because...If you get killed by a Shadow Warrior or Heishin, it'd upset Yami, for he wants to be the one to kill you." Anzu wailed. Malik blinked. He was expecting something a bit more sympathetic.
"Oh."
"And," She continued. "I worry I'll never see you again. You're like a brother to me..." Malik sighed and stroked her hair gently.
"Ah, Anzu. Don't worry. I'm better now, thanks to you." Anzu's head lifted and a small smile curled on her lips.
"Really...Malik?"
"Yes. So, stay strong. For me." He kissed her softly on the forehead and she nodded. He released her and left towards Bakura and Niko, who could use some help. Anzu sighed and watched her 3 closest friends fight with confidence.
I love him. Anzu thought despairingly.
DIS: This was more dramatic then I had thought. Of course, I was listening to Brittany Spears' "Everytime" And Jewel's "You Were Meant For Me" Both of them are pretty full of Romance. Guess I'll see you all next chapter and I am very sorry for the lack of update. I needed an inspiration! See ya'll!
