Nik: Ello! How are you doing this... euhhh.. nice day?

Namo: I fell into darkness....And couldn't find the light.

Nik: Wha?

Namo: One who knows nothing can undertsand nothing...

Nik: Ok... Namo, what are you saying?

Namo: Tied to the darkness... Soon to be completely eclipsed.

Nik: Ok. Now you are really starting to scare me! Cut that out!

Namo: A meaningless effort...

Nik: Really? I mean, uh... Let's begin! Just maybe 2 more chapters to go. Then... it's over!

Namo: You were just the delivery boy...

Chapter 17: Unexpected Question

--- Anzu's POV ---

Wow... Finally I'm in Paris! I'm staying with Francios in his apartement. And when you are standing on his balcony, you can see the Eiffel Tower. And Francios says it's also beautiful when it's night. I'd like to see that. But I'm still sad that I had to leave all my friends behind....

But, was that really Yami standing there at the airport? Or... was I dreaming that? I only saw him in a flash, 'cause Francios pushed me further and furter in the gate to the airplane.

I was standing on the balcony, looking at the view. It's surely beautiful. Suddenly, I felt two strong arms around my waist. That could only be one person...

--- End Anzu's POV ---

"Francios.." Anzu giggled slightly.

"Mon cherie..." Francios whispered in her ears before kissing her neck slightly. "Do yous like the view?"

"Yes..." Anzu replied. "It's very beautiful! I can't wait untill tonight when all the light turn on."

"Oui.." Said Francios and spun her around. "And that's why yous going shopping. Yous have toos looks beautiful tonight." Francios said with a fake sweet smile.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Anzu asked him.

Francios shook his head. "Non, non! I have to goes to somewhere else!"

"Where?"

A smile played on Francios's lips. "I can't tell yous, Mon Cherie. Yous have to wait 'tills tonight!"

"Well... ok! But I'll be back soon, ok?" Anzu said.

"I'll be waiting for yous, my beautiful Anzu!" Francios said as Anzu grabbed her purse and went outside. When the door closed, Francios picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Oui.. Everythings is going exactly as planned. Anzu Mazaki wills be mine forever!"

--- Domino city, Game shop ---

"What? She's gone to Paris? And you didn't stopped her?" Yugi yelled as he looked at Yami, who was sitting in a chair with his head down.

"I was! But... Francios..." Yami said as he clenched his fists.

"What about him?" Yugi asked.

"He was the one, Yugi! He hurt all of us! He was the one who wrote that letter to Anzu!" Yami said as he stood up quickly and looked out the window.

"I-It's was Francios? B-but how? He was so nice to everyone..." Yugi said but trailed off.

"I don't know, Yugi... But, sometimes I had the feeling there was something wrong with him... But I just let it go.. That was very stupid of me.. I let her go with him.. It's my fault! It's all my fault!" Yami said as tears started to come down again.

"Yami! How could you say that, it's not your fault and-" Yugi began, but suddenly, a idea popped in his head. Yugi grabbed the phone and started dialing a number.

Yami turned around to see why Yugi had stopped talking. "Yugi? What are you-" Yami said but was cut of by Yugi.

"Shhh. You will hear it soon!" Yugi didn't say anything and waited for someone to pick up at the other line. "Yes, hello. This is Yugi Motou. I was wondering if you have a last minute flight to Paris. Yes I'll hold..."

Yami looked at Yugi confused. "Yugi, what are you-" But again, Yami received a 'shhh' from Yugi.

"Yes, I'm still here." Yugi said. "You still have room for one person? That's great! For today? Even better! And what time does it fly? 8 o'clock? Ok, thank you!" Yugi said and hung up. He looked at Yami with a huge smile.

"Well, pack your bags, Yami! Your going to Paris!"

Yami looked at Yugi with his mouth wide open. "Are you serious?"

Yugi nodded happily. "Of course I am! Now pack your bags, 'cause your flight is gonna leave at 8!" Yami looked at the clock. It was now 7 o'clock. He had to hurry.

"You are the best Aibou someone could ever have!" Yami said and he quick grabbed his suitcase and trew almost his whole wardrobe in it.

"Aren't you coming, Yugi?" Yami asked him as he was about to leave.

Yugi shook his head. "No... It was only for one person, and if someone should go after her, it is you Yami!"

"Thank you, Aibou." Yami said as he ran outside and went into a cab. (A/N: Yugi had called one when Yami was packing! Tada!) The cab drove away to the airport.

---Paris, Francios apartment ---

Anzu came at the apartment with shopping bags full. Anzu enjoyed shopping because there was so much to see.

She opened the door with the key Francios gave her.

"Hello, it's me Francios! Are you home?" Anzu said as she stepped inside. It was dark, but she saw only one candle burning on a table. She walked towards it, and she picked up the note that stood infront of it. She opened it:

Put your nicest dress on and then come to the living room.

Anzu smiled and went to the bathroom to change. She bought a red dress. (A/N: I am not going in detail... You can make it up yourself..)

A little while later Anzu was ready. She went to the living room. She found there another candle with also another note.

Follow the roses.

Anzu saw the roses lying on the ground so she followed it. It went to the balcony. She pushed open the door and there she saw a table. Two candles were standing on it, with more roses.

Anzu gasped. Suddenly, Francios came from out of no where. He held a bottle with champane in the other hand, and a white rose in the other.

"Francios... Did.. Did you do all of this?" Anzu asked.

"Oui, do yous like it?"

"I love it!" Anzu said, hugging him.

"You looks beautiful tonight, Mon Cherie." Francios said, letting her go. He put the bottle on the table and gave the rose to Anzu. Then, he kneeled infront of her. Anzu gasped.

"Francios... What are you.."

"Shhhh.." Francios said as he grabbed a little box from his pocket. "Anzu... Yous are the most beautiful woman I evers have see. Yous changed my wholes life. So I'm asking yous..." He said and opened the box wich showed a beautiful diamond ring. Anzu gasped even more. "Will yous marry me?"

Anzu didn't knew what to say. 'Marry him? I'm only 16 years old! But, he's so sweet and romantic.. And I don't think I have something to lose..' She thought. "Yes, Francios. I will marry you!" Anzu said as Francios shoves the ring on her finger. She began hugging him. But what she didn't saw, was thagt a evil smile played on Francios' lips.

Namo: The door is still shut...

Nik: ... Right... Well, anyway.... Review!!!!
