DIS: Here I am, with chapter 14. It started at 3:25 A.M. and my mom's alarm clocking is beeping annoyingly and I am too lazy to shut it off. Here we go!

!

Malik watched as the sun rose, but he didn't care that Ra was being re- born. All he cared about right now was where Anzu was. They checked the lake... She wasn't there. They checked the whole oasis ...she wasn't there. Which meant one thing, Heishin had taken her. Malik ran one of his tan hands through his dirty blonde hair. 'All of this...For one measly girl?' He thought and he closed his eyes, holding back the angry tears that threatened to unleash from his lavender orbs.

"My Ra..." He whispered. "Where are you, Anzu?"

"Malik." Bakura said, coming over to him.

"Get away from me, Bakura, I don't need any shit from you right now."

"I know that...But I have a bone to pick with you and since we're alone, it's best we do this now." Malik opened his eyes and sighed, turning to Bakura, blinking a couple times.

"what is it, then?"

"I don't want to be nosy, but do you...Have any...Er, feelings for Anzu?" Bakura asked hesitantly.

"You best explain yourself when you say 'Feelings'." Mali said sullenly.

"I mean, do you love her?" Malik was no longer tired or miserable. He snapped alert at the sentence. He came crashing back to reality and was soon going back to his previous thoughts that he had about this. He took a deep breath and said, "I think I might, Bakura." Bakura nodded solemnly, "I see." He was disappointed. "Then Malik," He paused, biting his lip. "You're going to have to make a choice."

"What?"

"I overheard Yami talking and he said—It's up to us you see—We can either stay as thieves, become powerful councilors of his council, or we can be put to prison for our crimes."

"So what?"

"You're going to have to make a choice between Anzu..."

"Or?"

"Or me."

"WHAT?"

"I'm going to keep on thieving, Malik. And Anzu will surely want you to be a powerful councilor and you two—if she feels the same—get married and—"

"No." Malik shook his head, a sad smiled forming on his lips. "For one, she loves me as a brother and two...She is married by law, to Yami."

"I see."

"I choose you then, I want to keep on thieving." Bakura nodded, smiling.

"Then it's settled." Bakura and Malik snickered, before both stood up.

"But, have any of you found her yet?"

"Nope. Not a trace or even—Shit." Malik turned to see what Bakura was staring at and his eyes went round.

"How did they find us?" Malik asked.

"Who knows."

"We're spotted." Shadii pointed out dully.

"SO we are." Yami said, coming next to Bakura and Malik with Shadii and Simon next to him.

"what's that they're holding?" Niko shouted. Malik turned to him and shrugged, but we peered closer, he noticed it was a body—No, it was

ANZU!

"Anzu!" Yami gasped.

"Hello." Heishin was in front of them, half a mile away. "You're little lover here didn't seem to make it, Malik." Heishin said. Anzu didn't want to look at Malik, but Heishin made her. He grabbed her chin and forced her to stare into the eyes of the one she loved. Heishin cackled at her hurt expression and slammed her into the ground, laughing. Malik didn't move. Heishin was surprised.

"Malik?" Bakura nudged him. "Aren't you going to do something?" Malik looked over at Anzu, who was spitting out sand. She didn't even bother to shake off the sand that was sticking to her sweaty skin. Malik's hard expression softened and he hissed, "Fuck!" In a moments second, everything was a whirlwind to Yami as Malik's hand went to his belt, took out his M. Rod and shot Millennium Magic at Heishin and his SW's, immobilizing them. No matter how hard they tried, they could not move. Malik hastily jogged over to Anzu and without saying a word, picked her up bridal style and shouted to them, "WELL? Let's the hell out of here!!" His men jumped and hurried ahead of him, Malik, Yami and Bakura lagging behind them. Anzu still was silent, not wanting to look at Malik, just like he didn't want to look at her.

!

"Malik, you and your men have made a decision. To stay as thieves. I normally would not allow this if not for Anzu. But the next time we meet, you will not be as lucky." Malik nodded. "So long, thieves." Yami said and left, leaving Anzu standing there.

"I suppose it's good bye then, Malik." Anzu said, looking him in the eye. Bakura listened in, standing next to the horse, pretending to be occupied.

"So it seems."

"It was...And interesting experience."

"Indeed." Silence loomed over the two, before Anzu held out her hand. Malik glanced at it, before clasping it.

"Good luck with your marriage." He said, venom in his voice. They released each other's hands.

"Thank you, good luck with not getting killed." Anzu said, a stone-hard expression on her face. Bakura watched and thought, 'This is worse then when they first met!'

"Good bye, Malik." Anzu said, backing up to leave.

"Bye." She turned and a single tear rolled down her cheek and she said, "I suppose...I will never see you again? Ever?" Her voice was broken up, but Malik tried not to notice.

"It depends on what your prick brother—Or future husband I should say—decides. Maybe we'll bump into each other when I raid the palace again. Hell, I might kidnap you again if you're lucky." Malik said jokingly. Anzu turned to him, a smile on her lips.

"I'm sure we'll meet again." Malik nodded and waved turning and walking towards his horse. Anzu sighed and hurried into Metropolis.

!

Anzu kneeled down in front of a statue of Ra. She clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.

"Ra and the gods above, I have a request. Please, please let me meet Malik again one day. I know I should have told him that I loved him before he left, but I was so afraid, so afraid that...that he did not love me as well. I want us to be together, but we never will be. I'm getting married to Yami and...And...I want to marry Malik, but surely no one will agree with that?" Anzu opened her eyes, tears flowing freely.

"I love Malik and I know he's done wrong but Ra I love him!" She bowed her head, her shoulders shaking. "I need a sign...Please, any sign..." She hiccuped and heard something rolling. She turned to see a papyrus scroll rolling and something was written on it.

'We will forever be there for you, Anzu'

Malik looked at Gloriano. It wasn't destroyed completely. Many of the thieves were cleaning up some small things.

"Malik! You're back! And so is Bakura and Niko!" Shorn, a bulky man, came up to them, grinning.

"I'm guessing you drove them off?" Malik said, smirking lightly.

"You bet as hell we did! Ha, ha!" Shorn helped Niko, the small man with a wooden leg, off his horse and nodded towards the empty gate chair. Niko hugged the chair, sobbing, "My gate chair! Oh my beloved gate chair, no one will ever drive me from my place on you again!" He kissed the chair and Shorn, Bakura and Malik were staring at him as though he had 5 heads. Malik shook his head and said, "Shorn, take the horses in the stables, will you?"

"Yep! We made new, bigger and better stables!" Shorn joyfully took the horses and Bakura followed him. Malik walked slowly to his own cottage/house. He slumped on the couch and sighed. He closed his eyes, then opened them again. He went into Anzu's room and was about to exit when he saw the original clothes she was in on the floor. He picked them up and put them on the bed. He felt tears well up in his eyes and he wiped them away quickly.

"Brother." Malik looked up too Isis' sympathetic face.

"What are you doing here, Isis?" Malik sniffed.

"I have come here to help you, little brother." Isis sat beside him and looked at a rather miserable brother of hers. "You need to forget all about her." Isis advised

"And you think I don't already know that?!" Malik wailed. His cried in his sister's shoulder the pain unbearable. Isis hugged her brother tightly, her own tears sliding down her cheek into his hair.

"Malik...Please don't cry." Isis whispered. "I hate to see you so hurt." A few more tears leaked out, before they stopped. He buried his tear-stained face in her chest, sniffling. Isis felt calm, and peaceful. This was the Malik she loved. The one that she could care for, the one she adored. The one that needed her comfort. Malik turned so his cheek was pressed against her chest.

"Will I ever see her again, Isis?" He whispered. Isis thought for a minute.

"I do not know."

"use your M. Tauk!"

"No Malik." She shook her head. "You will have to deal with this on your own." Isis stroked his hair, placing a soft kiss on her brother's head. He sighed, relaxing and shutting up. He might be the greatest thief, but there was a time in every great thief's life when he needs a sister's love.

Anzu sat in her chair, looking at her fancy food. 'It's going to take awhile to get used to this again.' Anzu thought miserably.

DIS: What did you think? I love it! It was glorious! A lot of Malik/Anzu in there too...Well, not as in, kissing, saying 'I love you' but there were obvious hints of their confessed love. Anyways, please review and tell me how you liked it and again, ideas for future chapter's would be nice, like for the Yami and Anzu's marriage (wink, wink, hint, hint, nudge, nudge). Ja ne everyone!
