Anzu's Feelings
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
483 – Day – Kingdom of Pheliosta
Anzu and Bakura stood silently at each other for a few seconds until Anzu broke the silence.
"Bakura?"
Bakura gasped 'Shit she knows!'
But any other thoughts were interrupted as they both heard Yami yell "Stop!"
Before Bakura could take off again Anzu grabbed his hand and dragged him to a tapestry hanging on the wall, it was a picture of Phelios, Bakura recognised him almost straight away. Phelios was holding Sidia and seemed to be battling a demon, a very ugly one at that. There also was some kind of writing on the tapestry but before Bakura could see what it was, Anzu lifted the tapestry up and muttered a few words and waved her hand once over it tracing a symbol onto the wall.
The wall rippled.
Before Bakura could say anything she shoved him into the wall and Bakura went through it, Anzu soon followed. She then said some more words and then the wall became solid again but they could now see through the wall and see what was happening in the corridor.
'What the hell,' Bakura shouted in his mind but out loud he said, "Why-"
Anzu just shushed him and turned to watch Yami, now followed by Katsuya and Hiroto.
"Where did it go?" Yami muttered to himself, still breathing heavily.
Hiroto, however, heard Yami's rhetorical question and took it upon himself to answer it. "Maybe she's in her chambers?"
Flustered Yami turned and answered "Whose chambers? What the hell are you talking about? An assassin wouldn't have their chambers here."
"An assassin, it looked like you were chasing Her Highness," Hiroto said confused.
Before Yami could reply, Katsuya just had to put his ten cents in, "Yu jinn told you that you were chasing an assassin? He must've made a mistake. Reading all those books can't be good for your eyes."
"At least he can read Jou" Hiroto muttered using Katsuya's nickname.
Katsuya continued oblivious to Hiroto's comment, "Yami, I've never understood this weird obsession you've had for the princess, but it's getting a bit ridiculous." As Katsuya was talking a scowl was appearing on Anzu's face. "Maybe you should ask Sugoroku for vacation. I hear the islands are nice-"
Yami, flustered interrupted him before Katsuya could go any further "I'm not chasing the princess you imbecile, I'm chasing an assassin! Now help me before I really before it gets away."
Bakura and Anzu watched as Yami, Katsuya and Hiroto quickly walked off. The moment they had moved off Anzu turned onto Bakura, "I thought so, you can change shape."
Bakura's eyes widened, "You knew?"
Anzu ignored his question, "What did you do? You didn't raid the kitchen did you? I just did that last week. It would make me look really bad if-"
"Wait a minute kid," Bakura said holding his hand up and ignoring Anzu's annoyed reply "Kid!"
"How did you know?" he asked her emphasising each word.
"Well it's not like shape shifters grow on trees around here," she said matter-of-factly. "And since your mother could shape shift, I figured you could too. I just didn't expect you to start trying so soon."
'She's smarter then she lets on, it's all a mask that she has perfected over the years' Bakura realised.
Anzu continued on, "If you're a shape shifter then you must be undead, right? Are all kyawls undead?"
'She knows about the shape shfting but she hasn't figured out who I am. Or does she?'
Anzu sighed, well if he wasn't going to answer her question he could just say so. "Listen you should return to your normal shape. Most people don't like undead creatures. If they knew they had one crawling around in their living room they'd probably be a little creeped out. If they found out you were a shape shifter, they'd probably cook you into a soup."
"Soup?" Bakura asked, 'what kind of punishment is that, I have done far worse to people for far less.'
But his thoughts were interrupted as Anzu glomped him with a large smile saying, "Don't worry I won't let anyone turn you into a soup."
Bakura felt confused, "but why" he whispered quietly.
'Why help someone when there is no gain.'
~*~*~*
Yami walked back into the classroom with Kaysuya and Hiroto behind him. Sugoroku glanced at him as Yu jinn asked, "Let me guess, it got away?"
Yami gave an affirmative nod, "What was it?" he then asked.
"I'm not sure." Yu jinn answered. "Lower-level undead are often employed as assassins. But this one was different, the castle's legsaram charms had no effect on it."
Yami looked up at one of the legsarem charms on the wall. It was a cross and had ancient, powerful symbols on it. They stood for protection against the unnatural. But they could only do so much.
"Undead? Here?" Sugoroku said. Then he turned around about to walk out when Anzu walked in the dress that Bakura was in earlier, the said kyawl was in her arms.
"Your Highness!"
"Sorry about dashing out like that," she said smiling. "I felt sick all of a sudden."
Katsuya nudged Hiroto saying, "See, I was right," quietly.
As Anzu walked past him she stamped on his foot with her heel making him give a small yelp.
Yami and Yu jinn looked at each other but said nothing.
Anzu gracefully sat down and said "Let's get back to work, Yu jinn."
Yu jinn gave her a smile, "Of course your Highness."
~*~*~*
Anzu sat on her four-poster bed, dressed in her long nightgown; Bakura was in front of her, in his kyawl form.
"We might have fooled the others but I don't think Yu-jinn fell for it." Anzu hugged her knees and continued, "We'll have to come up with something."
Suddenly she grinned and lifted her nightgown up slightly, and then removed an anklet she was wearing. On the anklet were tiny yet powerful legsarem charms. Bakura took note of this.
"I know! We'll set someone up, they're already looking for an assassin right, and so we'll create the suspects. Bakura help me remove all the legsarem charms in the room."
'Does the women even know what she's doing?' Bakura thought scornfully.
Anzu scowled at him, "Are you even listening to me?"
Bakura looked up at her 'Uh sure,' then he changed into Anzu's form. Anzu stared at the naked male form of herself appeared.
"All right I'm listening," Bakura said looking deep into her eyes. "But I don't understand why are you trying to cover for me?" Bakura asked wanting to know, no one had ever helped him before and now some girl who didn't even know who he really was, was trying to help him. And was asking for nothing in return!
"Because I can't stand the taste of undead stew, and because I care about you."
Anzu sighed, "I have no brothers or sisters, nobody. What little family I do have is either trying to kill me or put a ring on my finger, just to get their claws on the throne. To my subjects, I'm a way of maintaining Phelios's bloodline, nothing more. In other words I don't really give a rat's ass about anyone but myself, and that's pretty much how it's always been."
Anzu suddenly jumped on Bakura hugging him closely to her and saying, "So I promised myself that if I found something I truly cared about I'd take very good care of it, and I care about you." Anzu snuggled into him but then she slowly pushed him away, "Understand?"
Then slowly Anzu began to blush, "But one request. If you can only shape shift into a boy, please don't use my face, you have no idea how much that weirds me out. Anzu was looking 'down there' and her face was turning scarlet.
Bakura flushed then smirked. 'Poor innocent princess.'
~*~*~*~*
Yami, Katsuya and Hiroto all stood outside, guarding Anzu's chambers.
'Something's not right,' Yami thought. 'It sounded like an impostor, it even smelled like an impostor but it looked just like her.'
"This is getting us no where. Katsuya, Hiroto can you take over for a while? I'm going to see Yu jinn," with that Yami turned and walked off.
"Weird, since when are Captain and Yu jinn buddies? I thought they didn't like each other," Katsuya said to Hiroto.
Hiroto was silent for a few seconds then he spoke up, "Hey don't you think it's strange that the captain doesn't have any girlfriends?"
"Now that you mention it, it is a little odd."
"And I heard that Yu jinn had to leave his last post after a 'questionable love affair.' He had to beg Sir Sugoroku for his job here. At least that's the rumor."
Katsuya and Hiroto looked at each other, "Really a 'questionable love affair?'"
Hiroto nodded seriously.
They both went silent for a few seconds. Then suddenly Katsuya cracked up laughing.
"Hahaha, that can't be true. It's to cliché."
Hiroto started to laugh as well but stopped as a scream pierced the corridors from Anzu's room.
"Yami!"
